Calder

Twisted stamen in-flight

fine kites wound and spun,

thin lines bound tight,

astounding-frames-hung.

//

Tamed by hammers,

bent and bowed,

deviation

curtailed and cowed,

oscillations are set straight.

Refining altered states takes

patience,

concentration to balance correct

weights.

Ornate skeletons spin

with delicate breaths,

wheeling convection keels,

cut disks slip between

unfurling currents –

a whirligig of steel.   

//

Mobile-slow-

motion –

curled throe of ocean –

in-audible variations

turnstile of commotion.

//

Juvenile clepsydra –

A helix of possibilities.

//

Malleable matter,

splayed bones in a wing,

animated rotation

who knew metal could sing?
