there sways a hammock on Orcas Isle
yet shall she go towards Manitou
she moves upon a passage kissed
suspending ore the northwest sea
resting rains of pale pollution
to change the clouds of milky water
to hear the heron landing
to bend the limb from sky
a borderless world exists
a daybreak smell persists .
we are here now
truth turning feral in flight
where bird eggs roll
to smash on cliffs felt far below , a revolution
her wound a souls disaster
cracks at the feathered moment seen
his pupils naked thru the clothes of mist
a nest of sap flowing blood in substitution
ore the cobalt sea
a borderless world exists
a daybreak smell persists .
there stands a doe
the deer of Mount Constitution
the ravens caw giving words to sky in echoed elocution
and from under forests debris
infant squirrels twist
a heart huddles
how she reaches
his thighs , his belly
how she reaches , he stares
the sky now jealous of his eyes
will he shoot the sheltered deer
if a borderless world exists
if a daybreak smell persists .
there sways a hammock on Orcas Isle
but will she sail to Manitou , alone upon
her land of blue , beloved blue
her land of blue .
Meg – this ( the poem ) is really nice – beautiful robert

This is a beautiful poem, Meg – the nature (and love of/ for it) shines through. I’m intrigued by your final photograph, though. Hope all is well with you. Chris.

Your presence is always a blessing Chris , thank you ..
About that photo , this is my favorite beach along Lake Michigan where I went before leaving to Orcas Island …I had been here just a week before and made an altarpiece of stone and driftwood so I was awed that this is how nature left it , those stones balanced even though I could see the waves had risen …and in the distance is Manitou passage of which I write .

Two beloved lands. Similar, yet so far apart. The answer will come, never fear.

Your images are always haunting, Meg. I felt myself there, in the borderless world, where we wonder what will be so… even as it arises all around us, reflections in the cobalt sea…
Peace!
