Mortal wonders, sea dwellings


New mornings rise to break the tension

The custody dawns

unblock multiple securities

in a room of insecurities

The sun imparts a new shade - milky

Its platinum permits value, then

appreciation

Wonders of mortals

Inexact motion

The soft constrictions and expansions

The clocks that don’t work

Hair that clogs, streaking all surfaces

The missing senses

Naught is unnoticed

The venting and closing of windows

Sugar that never fails to sweeten

The unsettling that

searches for a larger reservoir

A reservoir

of love, substance and affirmation

The floods of blood - tears

that form fragile pools

The new dwellings are seas of this water

They’re built and knocked down

as often as ocean tides submit

to gravity pulls

There is no option

but to accommodate these wonders

and enjoy their charms

For, slowly, the effervescence dies

in glasses of

water by the bed

Predictability comes with sleep

and the sinking froth
