Barrens

Barrens:
the water beneath clarity entwined
sleeps
hastens not to the sunlight—

attends to eye’s blink

—
does not call,
even sleepily,
more than one 

image	Ω

to a begging complexity:
	black & still

unruffled without closure
as a rhythm halted in air full
in the absence of light
elbowing the rim
of bleak waters’ edge.
