A kitten plays

Bounding across the room

Cold water in a metal jug and

Dish

Each being will

Find its stasis like the

Golden water

Held

In the

Jug the

Kitten’s

Living

Motion

Needs

Only time’s

Placed in a

Quiet

River like

Silt carried out

To sea

 

 

As water poured into water

Breaks its

Clear surface and

Disturbs

Equilibrium

Falling water soon ceases to fall and disturbance

Grows still

Here

In oblivion

 

 

A spinning top

By my hand on a table

Ceases

 

Dark

Entropy it

 

Falls

 

Grown

Heavy

 

 

 

As fish dart and dance

But when older glide through the

Clear water our

Destiny is like theirs

 

Each

Flock of

Geese makes

Haste

In formation

Joyful in the

Keen air until they

Land lightly on a

Marsh below the

 

Nearby river was

Once a tiny spring

Poised in the mountains in

 

Quiet

Relentlessness all

Slows
