Of Dampness and Breath

Of Dampness & Breath

Alone with his idiosyncrasies
shuffling along 
the pointillist perfection
of tedious shore,
an old man
luminous by moonlight’s 
slight lemon glow
swirls in the magic 
of dampness & breath;
their convergence emerged a silver-toned fog
at the mouth of a 
planked wooden pier;
aware underfoot 
the diminishing whole
being breached and exposed for its
soft, supple core
as structureless saltwater

lulls
and               and
lulls                                       lulls
and                and
lulls
