Fay Slimm.

Never Again.

 

Never this day again,
never this moment of potent sensation.

Air of sharp crystalline
will not again invade this exact skyline.

The same sun\'s high display
will never perform this grandeur again.

Not again this daytime
when whirling seagulls hunt high tide.

No more this moment\'s sheen
diamantéing each ripple over the sea.

Never again this morning
when quiet eats into sound and form.

Nature\'s speech, in this second
only, will never be bettered for effect.
