Magpie Tales 170: On Eons and Ego








                                                     






                                              
                                                               ego 
                             (skipping stones)


                    a delicate 
                           stone's thrown,
                      water torn, 

                        my attention 
                bruised 
                    but more: 
                        my core and 
                        afterthought 
                  of these: 

                              the ocean, lake, 
                            river, pond are 

                            water-rounded 
                          moments told 
                   complete 

                 of eons' 
                  raptured 
                           smooth deceit.
