smooth oval aloft
laden with likely
question of order
seamless first born
between fingers
held up between
hope and vanish
or relinquish
which came
which departed mother
born of dearly
yolked to
split open by blow-hole
puddled on foreground
on empty shell of
a gesture rolled
into a schematic
weather
interminable
then melt down
inundated
albumen of earth
genuine
loss pools
