Fluid

Keilani Poetry

August 23 
Free verse
All’s recycled
in the press of Time

Yesterday’s rolling desert now
rises in a lean gazelle

A mountain’s jagged rock is found
smoothened in the mollusk shell

and stardust of light years
slivered and bowed
from the quiver of Apollo
piercing through folds

glistens afresh in lambent pools
moistening the crescent jewels

of your eyes
