Noisy wide~eyed kids
Raced around a christmas tree
And skiis packed
On a roof of cars
Over impatient drivers
Repetition prolongs the strength of allusion
And arched pro forms
Diminish
Becoming frail and silent
And to the appearance
Of a lone ocean bird
Skimming over the choppy waters
Earily eyeing after anchovies
And occasionally glancing
At the people who had come to me at the beach
On a winter’s solstace
I watch this bird in flight
Using the wind
Against the wind
The bird hovered motionlessly
And admittedly adjusting
Both his body and wings
Self possessed
Caught the current of a strong wind
Herding in a long half~circle
Slowly at first
And then picking up speed
As a straightened upon
The invisible co~rs~
The solitary bird flew
Far from my sight
Yet within an image
Had reshaped into an
Empowered vision
Disturbing event surroundings
Resembling great
Aloneness
Between two rocks
I picked up an empty sh~ll
Of a brown and cree cory
That had probably been washed ashore
From some earlier storm
I listen to the not~so~far memories of you
Through the sh~ll and also tasted
Semi~sweet berries
Remembered from childhood
