Copper Chimneys

Take a pebble and throw it

into the sea

watch it bounce

capsize

surrender.

Take a whiff and hold it

above everyday breathing

feel it slip

away

untrappable.

Take a look and keep it

a picture of a picture

watch it fade

over time

grey.

Give a coin and love it

a giggle or a smile

feel your distaste

bitter

simplicity.

Think in layers and mix them

folding, unfolding

think your inhibition

beautiful

freedom.
