drivulets
stork daddy everything outside of me is drowned
to the wet and dull aliveness
of an opened refrigerator door,
an erasing overriding noise.

and yet i am sharpened
by each affronting cold.

a panicked rivulet shirks
down a leaf,
bending the stance
of the leaf and i imagine the tree ever slightly

a small puddle ripples in the wind.
a streetlight is a source
of reflections which blink across it.
and i would never know the streetlight
was there if i concentrated
solely on the puddle

and watched as it sent stars
across the universe,
like a fourth of july sparkler.

i breath out, and at the most
my breaths approximate
the endless journey
of those little lights,
but i am still here.

after a while i am tired
of looking at it.
it is too small to be a part of me.
it is so small and in flux
that in its constant smallness
it is infinetly larger than me.
it covers a distance,
infinitely smaller and larger
than mine.

i realize then, i am surrounded.
i am drowning in a world of rivulets
which exist at a range
and scope that i am at tension with,
that i feel calling me,
that i feel clumsy in,
too cement to dive into.
