The late afternoon faints
With the metaphysical.
Reflections in puddles.
Even the universe is a hologram.
~
The wind
Has mass
Of dusk
On road,
Alive
Like a mountain,
A glacier
Pre-industrial.
The night is
The dusk
Out-pooled.
~
The self is a card trick
In the dark
Without hands,
Sweeping sidewalks for
Enlightenment.
Speaking drastically,
The oomph that is not the self.
I made a diorama
Of the Triple Lindy
And left it on a diving
Board.

So, now I know what a Triple Lindy is, ha ha! The whole scene has a lovely strangeness. I feel as if I’m being swept off into the landscape. I love every line, they’re all so complete with meaning. But if I had to pick a few, these resonated:
“The late afternoon faints
With the metaphysical.”
“The night is
The dusk
Out-pooled.”
“The self is a card trick”
“The oomph that is not the self.”

Thanks Sunra! Yes, the Triple Lindy was a magical things for me as a kid, and being the naive kids I was, I thought it was a real diving move.

I thought it was a famous person until I googled it. And because you’d written diorama, I thought oh it must be a mystic. I’m still baffled, tbh 😊

And now I learn the meaning of ‘Triple Lindy’. I was unsure at first, but I thought it was either a real diving move or a reference to the flying maneuvers of Charles Lindbergh.
I had to google also, just now.
