This morning.......post storm

....................................sky

the world got a good wash....now

.......................the sea green

depths conceal a cold and clean

heaven
.............that by remaining


YOUR ZONE


(thus hidden)...........mimics

........your austerity flags

.............coming out of the bath


shivering

before your epheboi


your dim votary (burnt out bulb)

......................standing under

the cold shower of your cosmic aspect
