Salute

Irreducibly the hull is

What wind will not except,

A wrapper rounding less

Beyond too far to see.

Earth hugs heaviness;

But overhead is high,

Drunk with driving on

The flap of immensity.

Hull of chaffdom

Empties even

Loveliness in transit.

Wind dips toward stars.

VOLUME

To surface where

Serenity resists

Its understated levelling,

Leaves scoring

Deeper than accommodation

Wants to signify.

Unruptured placidity

Craves plowing down

The plane in fact

Eventfully,

Not smoothing

What the current

Sculpting of expectancy

Can carve away.
