A Poem a Day (610): Plunge

 
Plunge

Dawn lifts on a silenced sea,
evened waves rotate on ever-slow,
an uninterrupted rhythm of sleep.
 
Without edge or arrogance,
uncut by bird or whistling wind,
a page of a book turning.
 
We are the echo in the indent,
the spine, the fold, the blank,
the motion of the echo,
 
the falling point, the plunge
between papers, the idea that loiters,
waiting to be read.
