stillness at dawn
colorless flags hang limp
peace for a moment
stillness at dawn
colorless flags hang limp
peace for a moment
short choppy strokes
gliding across gray stillness
ducks aflight at dawn
capturing essence
in seventeen syllables
mundane yet sublime
posing like dragons
wings basking in morning light
migrant cormorants
breezy afternoon
…
fluttering like butterflies
…
elm samaras glide
…
wherever the winds carry
…
to burial and rebirth
