aspect excerpts
Jeffrey Powell 1979 (Pittsburgh, PA)
Tasked to endure the inescapable crash of the waves
Stricken by the power of silent majesty
Floundering and fumbling
Challenged by the upward struggle
Tumbling, turning
Lost in perpetual wonder
Falling and flailing
Relieved to not share what others demand
Twisting, triggering
Deserving of the capacity
Fascinating and fleeting
Susceptible to the inevitable
Trying to stay open; unflinching
