White eyed gulls
Soar over crimson tides
As masked butterflyfish swim below

Flocks of migratory birds gather on its banks
Providing a feast for Ospreys and Sparrow hawks

Pharoah's  chariots lay at its depths
Ghostly souvenirs of
The Red Sea...

The beauty of
Lake Pond Oreille
Green copper-monarch
Mountains rise from the
Deep fresh waters guarding
The sacred wildlife of this
Northern Idaho Panhandle
Ospreys skim the surface
Of this lake with fish dangling
In their claws 
What glory and majesty
She possesses in her arms
Truly, a gift from the Gods...

Bleeding the sea
for brown seaweeds.
I was trading the tides.

Talking me blind;
Kissing on my face,
O moon, you were reading

To awaken me.
I prick my fingers to collect
the fractured thoughts.
The ospreys were expected-

to land for laying eggs.
I will seed the clouds,
to bring in rains, to
wash the stains .

Back Creek Sounds 
Rhythmic wave crescendos, 
Like dynamic static of radios, 
Tinkling and gurgling noises, 
As liquid over rocks poises, 
Ospreys shriek at laughing gulls, 
Slapping water on slicing hulls, 
Burping diesels add staccatos, 
Winds strum mast-stay legatos, 
Sails fill or flap by whispered pressure, 
Bouys gong in the background with hauture, 
As my toes on the sand go crunch, 
Shouts my stomach, “Seafood for lunch”....
