On our recent stay in Florida we saw thousands of birds along the shore, hopping before the surging foam, diving toward the waters, clipping inches over the waves.
This image arose as my eyes followed their graceful search for food. For you grammarians the poem has something missing. Is it missing, or is its absence just a pointer to some transcendent realm? Let me know what you think.
To have one
only body
and ungraspingly
enjoy it,
nothing owned but
wings
in arrowed flight
claws
outstretched in landing
bill
to pierce the sea
for
this
one
fish.
Another great poem. Thanks again!!!
