Beneath the Surface
Devotions of time
Bent portions of wonderment
to frame, these bi-concave
lenses tricking imagination
to place, these values
for the spaces left
beneath the surface
Almost motionless
these escapes from air
these wanted darkened passageways
beyond any breath
slowest amorphous movement
beneath the surface
Shifting focus, these airs
above ground tensed, blushing
the assurance of daylight
while wandering the night
beneath the surface
