Early Morning Prayers
A faint
flock of
winged
feathers
pass
through
the gray
wet veil
as though
in a Chinese
painting.
Black wings
flutter
and are
gone,
curving
around the
bend
in a
breath
heading North,
led
by instinct
through
summer’s
fog.
Cypress tree
sits
at
world’s edge,
grows faint
through
thick
wet
air;
branches,
black and
strong,
bend
towards
lapping waves
as if
to hear
God’s
early
morning
prayers.
