Georgia O’Keeffe, Maxfield Parrish, N.C. Wyeth

I’m stunned by the sea change of clouds

 

tempted to follow wind, birds, roads

less traveled, or with bumper-to-bumper

 

foolishness, appropriate within the social contract

a spread sheet helps keep track

 

while I tack into the wind

watch realists paint the sky

What the Shark Sees

wise raven of stories

your capricious flight

delights the hammerhead shark

at the center of my heart

this is to say

true lovebirds feather a nest

come to rest before weather

predicated on past expectations

a single bird’s errant predictions
