A Silent Morning

The colors 
of a sea, a distant sail 
on its edge.

A pearly flush.
The coast of an elegant 
cloud, the stretch

of a snowy
egret. The glide of a black- 
necked swan. Dusk.

The butter 
hues that baste the terrace,
in late afternoon:

the graceful 
sunlight that lifts the diamond
wings, of Spring.
