Drop of water

Drop of water 

Look within it 

There's a beetle 

in a bubble 

Tiny feelers

Gaping jaws 

speck of rust 

From the fawcett

Also floating 

In the drop 

and a bead 

A tiny fleck 

Of broken glass 

On the glass 

A sliver of blood 

In the blood 

There lies a virus 

Mean and nasty 

Very tiny 

More invisible 

Than the glass 

Smaller than 

the pesky virus 

Must be single 

Healthy cells 

Packed with content 

Riboflavin
whatever that is 

DNA

5 miles long 

And the water 

you look hardly 

Maybe a sperm 

A tapeworm egg 

Little things 

Some invisible 

the water itself 

Is made of molecules 

H2O 
magnetic girders
forces pulsing

As you know 

Teeny weeny 

Smaller than the gap between 

The speed of light 

and the guilded

Illumination of 

A crack of spite 

I'm told there are smaller 

Things than that 

Thoughts of an ant 

The vicars hot pants 

Then we zoom 

Out and wonders 

Overtake the dappled drip

And we see beneath the tension 

Of the surface 

Other things 

A Giant eyeball laring at us
so it begins 

Convex lurid blooming 

Polywash 

You absorb the world it seems 

I can see the sky and mountains 

I can see a billowing schooner 

I perceive the moon

The heavens 

Moving through you 

In a whirl 

Stampedes 

Eagles 

Girls on horseback 

There's a Bauhaus 

Block of flats 

I can see

A house and gardens 

I can see a railway track 

Seeds and galaxies 

Cloud banks formless 

Skyscapes whisp and mark your skin 

Incarcerated 
the cliff of Dover

Stands within you

London bridge and hackney central  

Like the womb to a new born baby 

warm as an ocean
heavy with salt 

drop of water

Kaleidoscopic 

stirs a vision

You can't shake 

You reflect our Christmas pudding 

Then you fall 
like William Blake
Fall and fall 

And obliterate.
