📒🐦⬛🎶 The 25 bird calls that I heard by the river early this morning (November 29th) added to my notebook.
🐦 No newcomers today, but a lovely variety of birds.

Fresh Water
avoids green slippery outcrops
pushes aside the sand grains
to shape their own elegance
of pattern
meets and greets
the saline wastes
as if the two were cold
pressed allies liquid lovers
but the sea is an oppressor
where lies the river now?

I dream of dark and angry skies
white breakers falling into night
thoughts turn to liquid mountains
in ink stained far out deeps
where no land exists
only salt and wave
a ship's lantern a ghost
travelling silently
on a cruel wilderness

Last Summer
here sometimes
sun crossing torrid
blue
tentatively holding
hands we lay
Laura white
so obvious
protected by a parasol
we swam off summer heat
returning to our
disparate novels
in Flemish Swedish
Japanese
In November lamplight
three women read
asleep
by ten o'clock

here is a crosshatching
of black branches
against a sky blue
this photograph
was taken by Laura
who gave it to me
because I've
given her paintings
and she can't paint
it's on our bedroom wall
in a simple
pinewood frame
I look at it and think
of her beautiful pale face
