. . . . . . . did you know that i sit next to you now in the tiniest house of time?

and then…

by simeon schatz

and then
it’s you, as you pass by…

in your hair
i’m not sure
but i think i see
an object of you
reflecting

burning your light
in the water…

  1. A subtle image, yet an immediate one. I’ve been thinking a bit about the Imagist poets lately and so I look for things that are being clearly defined.
    I’ve been looking at your profile – Iive on the other side of the world just about; I find yoga difficult but know the worth of meditation.
    Go well.
