Weathers
“The seventeen of us left under a waning moon,
the march was very tiresome …
The news seems to be diversionary.”
The moon blues the beach.
The sea shines like dark lead,
only moving moving swells
slowly and recedes.
Walking out here on the edge
I know now the world is flat.
We can’t quite see it go,
but the water cliffs off out there.
And suddenly you skip to stop
crunching the shells that pave our way
in these blue lights.
A short wind bites at our fingers
even together
making December in our pockets.
Hushed the ocean flutters
along the brittle edge of sand,
like small blue birds with white wings
balance on telephone wires in a freezing wind.
“Today Nato killed a little bird
with his slingshot We enter
the era of the bird.”
