Aerial Photography

Those common infirmities

read in infinite ways

of ripples, form and color-splash

bend with sensitivities

birthed in forgotten ages

of root, wingtip and claw –

they arrive

in cosmic predictability

that eludes

and yet prompts standstill

and soft acknowledgment

of infirmities;

and lost and found

in this profound blend

we yield

to silence and embrace

and arms unnamed.
