tid sah (Tom Atlee),  1969

Home

the nets of night
the branches bright
drag the distant plankton stars
in     while clouds
with seaweed sounds
tangled drags them out again
where almost morning
           purple pours
down the burning moonless drain

with rustling cloth
the waking froth
dresses itself upon the sand
to lidded seep
back into sleep
