As/Is

in three

memento
Matisse along
this braced shore

one carves goodbye
trespassing alongside
prints

that
define better
the collective sand

all movie we
sit still
gesturing

to
solace between
condoned sweet speech

one thinks pacific
moments freshen
thought

and
mind remains
a symptom's delicate

new pace enlisted
by default
supposing

one
committed to
mime nature freehand

or repeated repartee
as if
new

our
way toward
darkness always hedging
