The first nine lines of Chaos

How to describe a wave

at one with the sea

a horse yet unseen

rears

rises

risen

then isn’t

melds again into sea

…to describe a wave

at one with the sea

a horse yet unseen

rears

rises

risen…

Repeat as many times

as necessarily possible

possibly necessary

preferably

with a glass of vodka

close by

quantumly entangled

the wave with me

Origami Eye

Origami I

a single plane of paper

fold me

unfold me

fold me

what appears to be

sea turtle

might equally be

butterfly or

crane or I

same quintessence

different creases

fold me

unfold me

hold me…
