things no t t here

faint is the impression made
indicating a direction the other way
now is the time to climb


channeled by rock pattern flow
around a vortex where quiet
provides a moment of creek expression


in trying to find the shadow
the mind takes a sideways step
eliminates the eye's override


implied but absent
campfire stories
around bottles of confusion


when eliminated as intention, dedication to the rock's own personal expression, inspires this second in the sunlight, to be documented for comparison, to other said spirit manifestations, of a variation on a theme, of one rock, with thousands of names and never the same face twice
