On the Lake and Beyond
(Nov. 26, 2009) The heron stands
stock-still blue waiting
sharp-billed and smoky
like a graceful victorian
Surely there should be
a sonata playing
deep cello sounds
caressing the vision
misting the edges
smooth chords resonate
little vibrations shimmer
on the mirror of the water.
Nests top the tall dead trees
Like crowns of thorns.
I am there. I sway in the wind
and depend on my mother’s wings.
