away from lake
raft, down river
no longer holding- vine, rock
turns of river, straight
raft now car
water, asphalt
speed
blur
speed
crash
flying, in between streaks of white
white light against black
flat line
flat line
afraid to move
afraid to breath
eternity
waiting
waiting for the flat line to pulse
give birth to two dimensions
mountain peaks
valley dips
waiting
waiting for flat line to split
three dimensions
depth perception
depth
branches
swaying
leaves forward, embrace
retreat, beckon
rivers
concave
convex
waiting
line
split
pulse
split
added
time
space
contrast
color
their stories:
birds singing
ancestors
water churning
descendants
but all you see is flat line
and you think
wonder
wish
wish that it was all white
wish that it was all black
zen white
zen black
zen, then
memories you can turn to metaphors
like footsteps erased by tide
sand castles carried by wind
slower, ice castles melted by sun
but all you see
flat line
(a memory
or a beautiful dream)
