GEOMETRIC SHORELINE ©2026 John F Sendelbach
Bennis non gratis……Paulis non gratis…Johnis non gratis……
Three promontory flyers on the peninsular brink
Waves of laughter crashing where the water starts to think
Subcontinental Seer cuts the truth down to the ink
Red-tail wingbeat… …non gratis…
Attic brick slant-roof where the east-wind heaves
For-rent house, shadows breathing under eaves
Jeep ride evening Paulis sings a Sparkle true
Non gratis knew the dreams we chased right through
Grad house busted mansion coffee black and strong
Feral shadows stretching where we don't belong
Windows full of questions nobody dared to ask
Brothers drinking twilight from the shining flask
Geometric shoreline, high moon wind leans in
Geometric shoreline, high moon wind leans in
high moon wind leans innnnnnn...
high moon wind leans innnnnnn...
promontory flyers high moon wind leans in
Subcontinental Seer smiles and sees us through
Peninsula laughing — newt and salamander stay
Brothers where the teaspoon rivers sullenly sway
Peninsula laughing, water drags us to the brink
Pondside shadows syncing where the world begins to sink
Water turning language into liquid moving light
Every wave a sentence bearing left and leaning right
Circle drifting outwardly while nothing's holding tight
Everything seems funny when the harmonies delight
Paulis out of nowhere in his rigor mortis haberdashery
nonsensically spouts a silly seer saying —
and we hit the floor laughing....we fell apart
we hit the floor laughing....we fell apart
..we fell apart, ...we fell apart, ...we fell apart
...we fell apart, ...we fell apart, ...we fell apart
Geometric shoreline, high moon wind leans in
Geometric shoreline, high moon wind leans in
high moon wind leans innnnnnn......
high moon wind leans innnnnnn......
promontory flyers high moon wind leans in
Subcontinental Seer smiles and sees us through
Backroom voices echo, newt-eggs burst and talk
Salamander tail-road slithers spiral hawk
Wet clothes woodstove denim steaming levi's blue
Subcontinental Seer smiles and sees us through
Geometric shoreline, high moon wind leans in
Geometric shoreline, high moon wind leans in
high moon wind leans innnnnnn......
high moon wind leans innnnnnn......
promontory flyers high moon wind leans in
Subcontinental Seer smiles and sees us through
high moon wind leans in
high moon wind leans in
...we fell apart, we fell apart, we fell apart......
...we fell apart, we fell apart, we fell apart......
...we fell apart, we fell apart, we fell apart......
...we fell apart, we fell apart, we fell apart......
high moon wind leans in...we fell apart, we fell apart......
high moon wind leans in...we fell apart, we fell apart......
high moon wind leans in...we fell apart, we fell apart......
Geometric shoreline, high moon wind leans in
Geometric shoreline, high moon wind leans in
