Passion Eddy  

Book two of impromptu trilogy.

  The Premise


It surrenders as a gentle, yet disparaged rustling
in what would otherwise be viewed as robust

herbaceous forage.  It frightens you deeply
at first, but soon you convince yourself

it's only the wind's caress.  Shortly thereafter
you set off in that direction, your direction,

to pursue what you now suspect is the premise—
the exemplary exchange which benefits both forms

of persistance.  The subsequent windfall carries seed
to the site—befuddling details; it escalates from this

to a clearing, among sagebrush moving in natural patterns
away from peaks, alluvial fans, and handsome saddles.
