An image captured,

a likeness drawn

But only a shadow,

a thought

and a hope

All that was painted

will melt

into base

The template uncovered,

an image misplaced.

Seedlings lie in sodden ground

shooting

            piercing

                        rooting

their bodies splinter through the ceiling

winding

           twisting

                      binding

shapes are forming, buds embellish

shading

            toning

                      jading

apples swell and leaves are quaking

hanging

Captivation...

a person.

I held onto a moment and it spilled into several

in the city, where I pondered along the streets

as the leaves fell and the colours changed,

I filled my thoughts with roses.

Did you feel that stretch?

when time went soft,

expanding over us

How odd we should be here,

again

So different

yet the same

But you didn't feel that stretch,

the bulging supple arc

connecting two spaces

across ages

So time hardened again

and the world washed over,

                swallowing me

I built you a chamber
in the landscape

And there I kept
your name,
your sound

The air inside
bounced all around

It sucked itself
a yawning hollow

Then carried
on the wind,
became 
dispersed

The echo aches,
driving
broken ice
across the face

Silver streams
pass slowly
through the space

When I look over
at the hollow

On paths we cross,
threads connecting
in place 

Our alignments tangle
in a web
of time 

Flashes trapped
as water drops 
on glass

When day closes,
our vapour trails
I trace

Those moments in place,
roll like ripples 
on a lake

Those places in time,
held like snow globes 
in my mind
