Old Eyes on Ink
Old eyes on ink
Fingers stroking sound
Creations crust
Birds leaving no trail
Beads sliding on string
The shining firmanent
Lithe lizards sitting still
Dark bark skeletons
Strangers smiles
Aqua feet
Underwater waves
Flushed faces
Spiritual imitation
Essence of rain
Vitalism
Canvas poultice's soaking paint
Whirling words
Innocent infants
Fatal influences
Enormous sails billowing
Invisible forces
Tense English tongues
Descarte's Tretise of light
Dantes demise
The defining of dreams
Galloping gossip
Rays at sunset
Genius invention
Hypnotic maestros
Smooth stones in a stream
Endless human emotion
Succulent seasons
Powerful persuasion
Natural noise
Active passivity
Prints in the sand
