Snapshot Poem 08 November 02006

Autumn morning. Sun and cloud
cast a net of light and shadow
across the mountain; a shifting
pattern: background, foreground.

On the other side of the river,
a heron watches from a leafless
cottonwood. White ice floats
on the surface of the water.

Politics, war, corruption, pull
me out my self. I give the birds
stale cinnamon bread. I’m glad
it’s a new day.
