Natures Pathways
"Save the Niborara River".
Nebraska.
'Flatwater'.
Populous enviroment, sandhill cranes,
migrating
south.
"Cranes Meadow", Platte River.
Observation deck, viewing cranes.
High in the sky, the sun.
Alda cafe, sack lunch.
Binoculars, sun glinted off.
Hundreds & hundreds of cranes landing.
Whoop! Jumping, Wings Flapping.
Cellophaned chicken salad sand.
Guidebook: Sandhill
Cranes.
Marshy sand bars, sun soaked.
Viewed, standing, one legged.
Neck bent down, wings back, pecking.
Bacteriophage, climbing leg.
Metaphor for Sandhill cranes.
Lost
in native environment.
(I typed this poem, 'Natures Pathways', in Chinese and printed
it onto rice paper. Then cut out each line and pasted the poem
in the night sky. See my newest painting, 'Cranes
in Moonlight'.)
