angst cycle (iii) — [I] (ix)

the grey has lifted from the blue
but it’s still slightly whited out
although the dominant texture is behind
great waves of white
still
but they could be tsunami
stopped for a moment
taking stock
looking
sniffing
deciding whether to roll
and overwhelm
they’re not moving
but growing
pumping up
intensifying violence
and bringing back the grey

ancient front
