Swallows
- for the morphologically inclined
No sheep
to bumble about alone
weighed down
with individuality
upon the ground
we surge
in sweet
and singing swiftness
across the sky
shape-shifting
all as one
to sculpt the bright
and empty air
with wings of light

A SUMMER PERSPECTIVE
Hark this man
Having kin with the sun
This cheery old man
Beloved by everyone
For instance
In his fancy we find
Benign distant clouds
That linger
Morphologically in mind
Meeting frozen November
With soul’s special eyes
He conjures wild colors
Warmed spirit as prize
This summer perspective
He keeps yearly round
To cheer and good fortune
His life force is bound
