The silence after a poem is read
I enter a bowl of sky
humming wheel
a leopard’s lens
focused on the kill
then, shimmering
reflection soft
plover wing over water
waves water fall
into glass
This drink is nutrient dense
riparian cinema rife with
kinglet egret dipper rail
swallow swan thrasher thrush
kingdom come on wing again
I bow to the mother mind
She steers migrations
along earth’s meridians
lines rising through time
now eternal on the page
