We moved on
in an unexpected
turbulent flowering,
a slowing torque corrupting
our facial suppositions
with grins to grind to a halt
unwinding diverse looks
Not channeling across
glances as expected
when undergoing trans-
formations under
the repetitive lunar
orbiting halo beginning
to appear before
the erasing of successive
reverberations that intricately
counterbalance the spin
and rotation of a vague
and distant exoplanetary
systemic process; to blame
and then create balance
forlorn and seasonally,
as if based on pasting
our feelings onto
one photograph
and regarding the rest
of the family album
as an ongoing distribution
network of constant rigid
reestablished tensions
rippling from one side
of the funneling inverse
quadrant formed first
cosmos through to
the outer lip curling
parameter stretched
along interior formations
in blossoming
flux we gathered by
the banks of a river
that ran against
many rocks
to cross on
over to the
other side
