Green as jade and smooth as a plate
except for these linked whorls of white
trailing downstream from the falls,
centered on clots of cream foam.
A string of galaxies, linked in clusters
and slowly spinning. A sheet of paper
lifted from the ebru bath. A lesson
in fluid dynamics, pure chaos math.
Each swirl is different and changes shape
moment to moment. These that I see
have never been, will never again be seen
and yet the river, the falls, the water
remain.
