out by your quiet [poem, 09.01.10]

out by
your quiet

 pool,   a darkly
eyeing
   shine told

 me to
    avoid

evaporation.

its watch
bled
 
1:23 & laughed,
but through
the

     swagger i
     thought
i detected a
glint &

asked    again
seeking

sureness
- ignore that

splash     it's
           just the
cricket

         pastors
 preaching insect

  hymnals with
broad mantis

      glee &
   fine

stitchery
    still,

it reminded
again
     me:

        avoid

   evaporation
