Figure 8's

Way out in the wilds
opposite sides the continent
having fasted for some forty leaps
rounds last bend prevailing
Westerlies sluice across mountaintops

Early autumn showers
unbraiding cores trailed low the wind
Mists ramping upward thru droplets are falling
gust eddies there twirling their waltz

Alpine clime
crystals reinstated to vapor
indigo orb overhead
redrawn circumference out lengthways
ellipse devoid prior circumspect

Ethereal Ephemerals
light-speed across tomorrow
translates a simpler language
captive with all the above
fetter works loose over course

Lace up the skates more tightly this time

A snap of the fingers
thrown again into motion
right over left legging more thrust
gather momentum as at the first
west wind propel them
tightening turns on both ends
