Silvia Scheibli
Bodega Bay
Cormorants stand etched
like silent syllables on murky pilings —
Whisper about fecund waves of fog
on Goat Rock Beach
Clouds banked in honeycombs
foreshadow rain
Yard Birds Know I’m Back
The swaying teacup tilts
Sparrows avoid each other —
Dew droplets stand apart
Butterflies are gone &
the air is crisp
Morning peels sleep’s mask
from the moon without effort
After the stroke
Played our song on the piano
the screen of our universe split
Green hidden inside glances
vanished with our imagination
Leaving only
immovable stones to ponder
