BIG DROPS SPLASHING

INNER AND OUTER REALM MATED

Rainbows pouring in water falls

Always here
in continuous practice:
a brown moth resting on old lace,
and a can of peaches
in tomorrow’s firelight
PLUM
Somewhere a plum is ripe.
Swirling like horse heads
in rainbows.
Purple plum.

A PLUM IS RIPE.
COLD HARD GOLD-BROWN PEARS
