             sun
shows
us

a lone
warbler

over
by the
reed beds

                                                                                
*
                                                                                

stop                     stand

still                      and

                              listen

                                                                                
*
                                                                                

the clear
                      air
sharpens
his
song’s edge

                                                                                
*
                                                                                

sedge and
hedgerow
glow
             in late
light

& tide-worn

stalking
the sea-wall

walking
the water’s edge

all weathers

We write light
this morning


the sight


of sun
on water


to begin


still water
winter morning
river still

Tied
to a
tide-line


biding
my
time


till a
sea-change
sets me
free
