An apricot cloud adorns the sky
just there behind the birches
the silhouette of leaves in odd array
one stem a slender trunk
is like a pencil streak
with decorations on the tips
and Skorve sits there dressed in grey
it is the end of a summers day
pale blue the sky up there
beyond
so far away
the salmon on a plate of blue
in the lake of space
its crown
above and out that vacant stare
we watch the passage of that fish that changes shape just there
so seeming near
the scene it dominates in green
so many variations
of colour shape and size
the lupins look surprised
