White Verse

after years refining
the art
i finally mastered
the invisible poem,
white text on white background
inscriptions written
on the wind by the wind

an entire world opened,
verse seemed to saturate
all existence
i could not turn my head
without another inscription
appearing

but it was only my desire
chasing itself into oblivion
like a circle with infinite
beginnings but no ending

i have learned not to allow
those polar extremes/binaries
to dominate my themes

so i settled for a sea poem
written on the sea by the sea
-- very wet
punctuated by sperm whales
framed by dolphins
but delivered by a white pointer
