Armada

^[+

is it possible 

that not a single soul 

saw me cross the fjord 

a broad day, skinborne, without broadcast? 



an obstruction of sight - 

behind some tree or

coalescence of ‘em 


likened to a pear stab,

penetrated silver soup 

my fleshy leaves falling into 

dualist worlds of waters

- shoes - slung

slung around his neck



that first cold foothold with the acorns attacking her breast -

worn over-solemn writer of a pendant,

un-rended - he accepted it in silence, quick as a single step -  



next the third, only felt against the pining world

to free itself of standing still; she was for a moment, only heard;

rushed herself down and spoke a poem faster than the speed of any word



while it shook him, legs tied up in a stance, 

it was no less that single leftward glance left,

to slip him 


and it spoke;

“look ahead,” it said,

“carry him” 



and it’s right to dryness all starboard 




(a) left hand unclenched it’s perch,

stipulating stable as it’s

windows lurched - 


“in!” she screamed

and i could feel her will 

staunch against it,

holding everything



baring sets of teeth

that i had never even seen


i commanded myself to get over her 

no one heard it

but the deep
