Stones that Rhyme with Water

Along a southern edge

an immanence of rock

gripped the ground

with bony hands

ripped the earth’s crust

intwain

a creek to bed water

pregnant turn

tadpoles to

bullfrogs

in autumn

***

crazy feet skin

baby blonde soul

slipped shackles

of words

skipped stones

artful dances

a creek to make stone poems

rhyme with water

no syllables to

imprison

***

rock and mind twined

a baby poet’s eyes

tripped wires

unknowing an opening

portal vortex to

somatosensory magic cortex

an inner creek to fish for unwords

flotsam leaves

invisible ink

unwritten verse
