Droplets of Water

 (a rewrite of a poem from 2022)


Droplets 

along the sharp edge of a stone


like a chain of headlights

in December traffic,


sidling onto moss greenery,

streaming down an algal thread


to a pool of pellucid water

over a mosaic of coloured stones.


Beads of water, taxis,

carrying you in iotas 


to pools, your thoughts

in subterranean caverns


where the beauties are pin-sized

and, though forgotten,


were once your fireworks.
