Early morning light archery off a far boom shore
Thrust bellies to air fool moon’s plum shades awaken
Beneath them voice and ghost curve away to ocean deeps
In the hollow bowl of the drum of the body
Moon pictures propped on the morning gestalt
A plum gray flood of light de Kooning would have killed for
Its full Rig Veda morning alarm glow rising
Like water bubbles into a drowner’s mouth

Such strong images !
'Like water bubbles into a drowner's mouth', so good!
Leigh,
As it happens I saw a fellow come very close to drowning not too long ago, and as he was being pulled out of the water, unconscious, bubbles could be seen coming out of his mouth -- at that moment I had one of those rare sensations of having unwittingly put words not on something that had already occurred but on something that had not occurred but was going to... I'm not sure I am describing this very well, but the subjective sense of the dangerous conjuring was eerie, uncanny, and not so nice.
Such a strong structure and such intricate words are a rarity on the web these days. Atleast for me.
Every single line was brillianty penned, and weaved.
Aditya.
Aditya,
Thank you my fellow weaver.
