Restless Fish Leap

the bird drops a stone
and as waves flicker outward
the fish beneath dance

rain follows, restless fish leap
calling for the winds to come

Spring's cool breezes blow
fire poppies swoon and open
bright orange embers

sparks flash silver hot
grey dreams rise like smoke signals
waiting for answers

a sphinx moth nears, ignited
sipping nectar while in flight

a young bird searching
softly singing out its hope
in the early hours
