Gazing,
Greek letters display of curious origin.
Impregnation skin softly writhing aware letters

Sea

Alpha, Omicron, Tau, Psi, Mu, Rho, pass through all the rest and each other figure 8

from halfway up the steep and twisting lane.
In early half-light as you take your walk

Alpha said to Beta
So, How’s that flat?
My Gamma built a Delta
