Martin's Plaice

How can a whale be a butterfly's wing ? It's a taut mammalian, muscular thing. But connected by sonar ,by sensor it's "wings" propelling its momentous flukes, it sings, to its kind. So, it's conduit, it's channel , the sea is it's ear which snapshots the sky a perfect revere .. A Legato tempest; majestic underworld. Selenium bound. While the land is reflected in all of its flux : it's metals, its slabs ,or the total redux : but the Azure window collapsed to its base. Do the seismic rocks- the ones that give chase ; or the clastic and chemical sedimentary face not just fractal - like pattern as bobbining lace.. resembling ... the butterfly's wing from space? ( Or maybe from Pincher Martins place )
