to points east

				
its origin is the source of all rain
and it falls through the night

when morning comes
under the lowest lowest lowest
passing just beyond the thunder tempest

there will unfold or overlap or crease
a fragment of energy

energy you could traverse on your
tip toes across the universe

nimble as a dolphin
or a great sea turtle

merchant marines of the slipstream
freelancers of the under tow;

 a fish in a frozen pond
lives through the winter
