Sarah St Vincent Welch #82 Civic Ekphrastic, Matthew Harding's Ebb and Flow

in the shareway

concentric circles

flow and ebb

I feel for a step

beside the ripples

there, there, here

a step in body memory

but the surface is smooth

feel with a sole shuffle,

no dip, or stumble,

edge forward edge

as if I’ll fall

into a future city
bodiless
