Expansion

Expansion

Spring water
guided by
extruded metal 
solidified and expanded,
cracking the seams
In the molded plastic
so that the sequenced valve
would never close.
The ungoverned flow
moves past the frozen,
holding open
the prison door
through the tubing
to exit and fly and layer,
onto leaves and fibers
bending under the weight
of curving beauty
freed from the laws of man, 
and allowed to follow
the instincts of nature.
