What Gives Rise to Vacant Islands

by Craig J Crawford

self-formed spontaneously on faces
by adsorption into some souls
they do not interact with a strong affinity

anchor such an end from the liquid slow
lying down hours together
while far from the close-packed surface

readily they lower the bonds
more than the variety of potentials
thereby reducing its own neglect

be such as the back bone, a tail
replaced by possibility
two ends to this inert pattern
