the formless way and the sinuosity of experience...

ephemeral

diaphanous

layered

experience

of time and light gusting

over my shadow 

lain bare on the ground

the caress of invisible space

holds the shape of my translucent form

cast downward by the sun

overlaid on hard earth 

marked by water's flowing sinuosity 

here

or  there

by the cracked puzzle

of a long-gone puddle

cracks and fractured pieces

of the earth's skin

all that is left behind

of the water 

magnetized by sunlight

into evaporation

and into long gone clouds

with their hosts of restless guests

changing forms with one another

fleetingly becoming 

something altogether different

and then again

altogether new

innovation is water's way

—Lorena Wolfman
