ON A STILL DAY FROM A DISTANCE
The fog – ungracious – is retreating back thinning
itself refusing to eat the air brush the sea.
It milks the moment mark you it flows serene
plotting tricky patches letting arcs of spinning
light rustle through its innards. The fog will longer
play its part long enough just long enough to jinx
the tale’s end.
A little boat setting out rope links
its stern to the promontory’s bow no stronger
than thread than hair from here but snapping fine string
burns the fingers. Someone trails a hand through fog through
water. There is a flash – connection! – ripples grow
wider faster in sunlight breaking mist. Vengeful
a swirl of brownish dead seaweed smacks wet and dull.
dull and wet smacks seaweed dead brownish swirl a
vengeful mist breaking sunlight in faster wider

jinx enough long just enough long part its play

spinning arcs letting patches tricky plotting
serene flow you mark moment milks.
