there is a breathlessness like
WATER
in the reading
heavy water
glowing, sparkling, flowing,
puddling, stagnating, growing
LEAPING
from the marked page
wrung from his heart
and fermented in the space between
page
and
reader
clinging to the eyes with a fibrous
TENACITY
it flows smoothly into the brain
where it is transubstantiated
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,as we always knew it would be.
