Undulate of diamond silhouettes
North wind skirts pirouette
just past a fishing heron
fingerling samurai silver shadow
breath so deep it echoes
not one golden dream left behind
you’re where I’m gonna be forever
(for shelly)

crows
almost quiet
only feather sounds
rising
almost still
only slow
steady beating
as if horses
finally
taught themselves
to march in order
across the fields
almost green
only smoky
spiral dust
almost damp descending
mirage
as if insects
finally taught themselves
to sing like falling rain
across midday
almost yawning
only august
