Featherscapes
The parts are all there -
shaft, vane, and barbs,
yet, when you turn the canvas
on its side, all is confused;
the shaft a distant horizon,
the sky vane reflected deeply
in the water vane, while
the after feathers plume
like the wake of a small boat
across the billows of your
sea-scape.
