Analysis of Fluid
All’s recycled
in the press of Time
Yesterday’s rolling desert now
rises in a lean gazelle
A mountain’s jagged rock is found
smoothened in the mollusk shell
and stardust of light years
slivered and bowed
from the quiver of Apollo
piercing through folds
glistens afresh in lambent pools
moistening the crescent jewels
of your eyes
