adrift
‘o universe, greatest of all vessels
whither are you bound?
pick me up, carry me away in your shelter
i cannot swim all the way unguided.’
(rabaindranath tagore – natures requital – a tagore testament, meridian, 1953)
adrift #1 (west of setown, jurassic coast, dorset, 2016)
to the land, to the sea
‘we are thus bridges between silences.’
(william goyen – nine poems – the bridge of breath, albondocani press, 1976)

below golden cap
a drifting day
particles coiling
in slow water
the tidal pool
an extended moment
a threshold opening
shimmering luminous
grainy constelleations
accumulating dispersing
an unrepressed instant
of fluid geometries
opening pouring
an otherness emerging
the unmediated instant
devoid of hesitation
an azoic transmission
a white sublime
microcosmic field
an ineffable rift
the face of the deep
mysteriously cast away
