MOTHER TORTOISE

Sadly the mother tortoise

left her beloved porpoise

to frolic without him

in seas of turquoise



She crawled

to the land

to leave eggs \

in the sand



leaving the formless

for the form

leaving immeasurable

for the metered

leaving her warm depths

for barrens windswept

leaving the peaceful blue

for a world of multihue



It is entirely up

to her.. now that

her job is done

to decide when to

return

to her husband Neptune

(to Kelly L R)




BIRDSONG



the warble

of the finch,

the song of

the nightingale,

the melody of

the lark

the peaceconferring

chisel of the woodpecker

the morning symphony

which says goodbye to

dark
