There was a time
when the dreaming pools
plunged deep--
generous in being whole.
And I swam
the breadth of
seven heartbeats
looping back from end;
bending forth--
until the mirrors shattered
and the vacuum
sucked me dry--
the exoskeleton
that was blown away;
and what is left
are only impressions
of leaves on the pavement.

I really like the image of the leaf impressions on the pavement, especially after the violent motion right beforehand of the being sucked dry.
