Polysemic Stupor

Imagined Hike with Companion

(for S.K.)

Looking at you

as into a tree

full of running water,

that steady,

that moving,

an attempt at description

of cognitive complexity

and integrity,

my friend

you exhibit fidelity,

similitude of redundancy,

my familiar

coupled with surprise

or invention,

the information

your embeddedness enacts

with this world

of flowing waters

and sturdy trees.
