Demonstrably So

Soft as fontanelle, like a lover’s seat
in the dirigible that oversees the
parsing a dialect of bubbles, with a
paprika of the off blue sea.
Tragic made to hitchhike.
A swagger on the water.
Blitzkrieg of memos for the marigolds.
Crux is round at the corners.
It’s raining, for lack of tears on the
cheeks of the slackjawed.
Little holies everywhere, dredged
and hermetically sealed for fear
of falling skies.
Thimble divers checking for prints
in a stitch in time saves nine whole
yards of what’s not thought to be
the life as lived on water.
