hanging on the estuary

hanging on the estuary

maybe it is
getting better
maybe it is
getting cleaner
along the estuary
toward evening
spotted a heron
every hundred

to an elderly magpie

to an elderly magpie

at your age,
sir, you’ve
scooted zoomed
across a plethora
of skies
pulled finest
worms from
thickest lawn
raised families
scattered them
to the four winds
in handfuls of
black and white

triptych

triptych
      morning 29 june, 2013

So ‘blued out’ in this shot we can’t actually see them….

the morning
coromandels
bluish under
blue
the sea a
blue deep
with winter
shadow
lifted to
the gloss
