Alfred Stieglitz, Equivalent (Set H, Print 1), 1923
just now
plumped fluffy
full and massing
to a tarnished
glower, submerged
below coursing
oceanic blankets
windstraked thin
across the scrim-
shifted light
ceaseless series of
vaporous moments
ever
on the move
shape-shifting lazy
summer game to sense
drunk desperate rapture
looping back around
only to meet
enforced stillness
the mind seizes
half beats too late
paused pattern within
lucent fragments
tumbled by degree
navigating via imagined
cartography of wondrous
nomenclature, already perished
phenomena
tag teamed marquees flash
frozen posted
magnitudes
between nothing
and one
