Light Fields

Water surface in light
Haze over water
a strip lifts

Sky in blue
Waves smooth the distance
Light separates the planes

White in the haze
Air trembles over water
Blue runs into itself

Between air and water
Light draws the strip
Distance in haze

Light strikes glass
Curvature throws back
White jumps onto the wall

Metal skin in the room
Sheen over edges
Darkness behind it

Field of dots on the floor
Dust flickers in the gleam
Spots drift apart

In the glass body
Room in splinters
Light flecks the wall

White meets glass
runs in at an angle
the edge brightens

In the glass body
the beam stands displaced
colour rims the glass

At the prism edge
colour fringe emerges
strips fan open

On the wall
white lies split
colour runs out of white

Colour bands on the wall
one tone abuts the next
Edges flicker

Between the bands
light narrows
colour frays out

Colour against colour
light runs between
the fringe pulls apart

In the colour band
white passes through colour
the fringe flickers on

Dust in the light cone
Air turns granular
the beam loses its edge

Dots on the wall
scattered light in the room
shadow flickers out

Light splinters in the dust
Spots drift apart
White scatters in the room

Above the floor
gleam turns to grain
white sinks into dust
