There

no one knows and no one cares 

that contemplation

silent speculation of the mind

no one sees and no one stops to listen

peaceful there

tranquillity assigned

no one guesses, no one needs to know it

tryst of porous

hush of liquid undefined

introspection scanning 

subtle radar

diminished blips, serenity supine 

no one knocking, no one needing notice 

nothing modulating 

none defined  

nowhere, no one, nothing,

all existence, non sequiturs 

affirmed, dismissed, consigned

By Degrees

a little bit of this

upon arrival

precious bits of more

as night time fell

chilling unto mellow

needed, kneaded

massaged into melting

by degrees
