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
