Preface: As Above So Below

Consider the unity
of dual worlds:
I saw two trout sliding
thru the shallows of the river
over the shadow
of the moon.
I saw them strike, simultaneously
at its reflection on the surface.
Twin arcs of perfection pierce
a mirror, thinner than an atom,
between the shadow & its source.
Shattered ancestor to the looking glass
dissolves in splash & ripples.
A moment when something gives,
air & water wed, in the sound
of a wet kiss, then,
once again lay smooth.
