Story (A “puzzle” poem)

 
There is a very simple puzzle/story hidden here. See if you can find it.
Previously published in, Infinities Kitchen
This also works as a performance poem and I have performed this and given out the text as a puzzle.
This is a puzzle that could never be solved just by listening to the words. You need to see the text.
[No need to send solutions as that would stop other people being able to work out the “puzzle” on their own]



Where do Plughole Empties start? so begin the movement away... another day fades... fast
stream... Down Until. distant day drifting... sun far lifting... far reaches running track... clue last
field Faster... warmth reaching... colour leaching... day light... bats sight... then last
far Down... fish dark swimming... grey sea rising through brightness... birds fly past
around Travelling... forward fragments finding... toward tiger forest... shadows cast
hot SILVER... Movement... sing softly... Water is key... treasure trail... wait... waste confuses land
jigsaw... maze haze... Turns... finding ... to a Whirpool... searching path... drifting back... hand
eyes flies... levity strings... Gravity... star Swirls Around… when whispered... cold told... and
search... frog eating jasmine jam... Turning... salty red fish swim... load lorry... sea story... and
one two left right... prime DRAGON... foot print QUEST... journey searching... sand
