in the wake
of geese gliding by
cackling gossip
2020.05.01: timeless
in the cool of the morning
a pair of blackbirds
he in iridescent black
she in camouflage brown
seemingly content
foraging on the ground
for the eternity . . .
. . . of a moment
before sprouting wings
and returning to the sky
leaving behind a voyeur
in breathless wonder
2020.04.30: precipitous
whirlybirds from maple trees
then rain and hailstones
2020.04.29: immersion
sunlight and shadow
dancing to the songs of birds
breakfast on the porch
2020.04.28: ocean
while we’re all sheltered
stranded on our island homes
the world seems larger
Longing For Water
