Waterfalls


incantation

incantation

Waterfall a watchtower for summer, lighthouse for winter. Light between
Corsican pines, wind between
Leaves, springs breath between dreams.
Summers powers fade, do magicians 
Dream about magic. Leaves
Degrade. Falling water a tongue
Talking, offering reassurance about 
Returning themes. Which season
Prays with waterfall between hands
For last flight of bird 
From Douglas fir tree. When 
Does flame
Become a fire. Can lightning
In dreams tempt tears. Sky
Clears with arrival of buzzard hawk.
Does a bird watcher have a 
Tear in each palm, moon reflected in 
Blood on claws before disappearing 
Within clouds flood. Sound 
Of days bird song pours into
Wound of dreams. Spring returns
To relight themes. Are birds of
Summer like submarines
In winter's dream, latent sting
Of tattooed bees, sunken scent
Of sleeping flowers.
