1.
flowers frieze into stylized design
duck and ducklings swim in a line
seen from a fantastic height
the quixotic pedestrian bridge
shoreline meadow alone
water in the creek
seven black-necked geese
large brown rabbits in a small herd
superabundant birdsong
birds unseen in the trees
the industrious bumble invades
an ultra-orange poppy
mocha hash chocolate
five pointed star in brilliant blue foil
in fennel-green borders of the reserve
red-winged blackbird rules the day
matings songs swell
into a vertiginous hurdy gurdy
incarnadine finches
fly ahead up the path
wind on the cove beneath me
mesh generation fifty seabirds
spaced apart on the grid
cormorants fish the boundaries
grass shelter on the last hillock
someone may have lain here first
below the insistent wind
food from home
mount tamalpais is dim
the bridge is evanescent
mild bay mist obscures the west
I want to live in the diamond sparkle
2.
the wind over me and down to the cove
gusts play on the water
the sunny surface becomes a kite
wind streams around me
down hundreds of yards to the water
the surface like a great kite
grass moves iridescent
the wind turns its red side
to its green side
