Imaginary Waterfall
You could ask any one of them up by the lake
                                               It had presence
Fold of coldness folded over cold
The rumors of what was beyond
                                         mostly worthless
You had to take into account who was telling
                                                the story and      
for whose ends
Against the dark of her intuition
                                 an unrelenting stream
of light starting to set like cement
some mildew tingeing the dream since
its uniform had not been
                                               properly kept
Where her love stood
until he stepped behind the overhang
                          the synesthesia of his name                   
a silver helmet ringing
                                                  when struck
