we roost to warm
our black feathers
on the water
tower not for
the vantage point
but for the bounce
of sun and sound
off the round steel
the height is just
the ambience
from which we’ll launch
our hot shadows
Very nice! Love the simplicity, and the voice you take on here. "Hot shadows" is excellent - what an ending! Like the sound play - bounce, sound, round.
ReplyDeleteDear Amber,
DeleteThanks for your kind comment. Yes, I was pleased with how this poem unfolded. Some new territory to explore here for sure - technically and voice-wise (as you noted).
It snowed here today - still snowing!
Peace,
B.R.
