reflect the sky at the dividing line
thousands, pilgrims, acrobatic flight
cautionary signals, holy outline
carry the form of grace and light.
countable and uncountable, alight
coastal meadows of purple aster
neon sun behind the fog, fading night
winged silhouettes settling at Big Sur.
aerial blueprints, circling wet fir,
time resolved into opaque brushstroke,
compass lines, body before mind, umber
cliffs springing off a morning flock, awoke.
red on red ridden their wild throats, pigment
of deepest origin, indifferent.

cliffs springing off a morning flock, awoke.
red on red ridden their wild throats, pigment
of deepest origin, indifferent.
Practicing with Spenserian stanza form- not perfect.
