#obsessed with patterns

Add-stract.

The picture was interesting

to a pattern-fiend like me

but a shadow of a roof

has limitations

the abstraction takes me further

to a Japanese battlefield

where an army prepares

waters laps on a shore

forest gives way to savannah

So much of life is

mass on the edge of something else

cellular to vastness

It’s the same.

Or it’s the shadow of a roof.

Possibility in pattern

Echo of the water

that ebbed-flowed

movement

an echo of the moon

currents from the sea bed

leave a sand print unique
