Patchy as Clarity

Contours detour reality
like hypotheses and theories
felt from high up
not seeing 
the grind of the ground

Contemplation contains
smooth edges
for a leaf remembers
is a sheaf rendered
with most of its tears
streaked and blurred

So it blows with words
flowers in there surely
how many petals 
a matter of context
subject to subject

Loose grips submit
carabiners hold
while attention swirls
tension according to rope
accorded to climb
