Immaterial Matters

Patterns interact
with other patterns
in the fabric of
this manifested
moment in the marsh.
A great design
we call an osprey weaves
through non-apparent
filaments of wind;
another motif
called the great white heron
flashes fair
devices in a scheme
of rising and
descending composition;
thus this fancy
figuration called
myself dissolves
in immaterial
delineations.
