that which stands still stifles

that which stands still
stifles many Glories

The sloping Sun
To Ocean's Verge,
has run
in fluent intercourse
with this island

in the shadows
A fairy pool
of non-material things
flowing gracefully

I never dreamed of such delicate motion
a Hymn to the Earth

. . . . . . . .

The OED word of the day for the erasure poem is 'fluent,' a good description of a two-week old dolphin in Broad Creek at Hilton Head Island.
