Waverunner

Motion delicious skiffs across freshwater lake spliced poise of sun
whose icicles long dissolved are now transmade into the glint of sky backatcha
laxing into warmth qua punctuation's daylight with a purpose pungent or disowned
my way is made for me in present tense alone out here in streaks of slap down against muscular reflex lashing waterfirm resisting being placed into a speck of photograph failing in the act of capturing this breath-light of the animal all mine

I like the mix of vernacular ('backatcha') and formal speech ('transmade'), echoing the 'muscular reflex' of... life?

Muchas gracias, Ivy - just back from Michigan, and this arrived not long after!
