flash of lightning
darken windows …
power lines down
Under the quick raindrops
shells of snails emerging slowly
from among the stones
shore beneath the dew –
spinning, picking at the water
the phalarope
–
head bobs up, down
nods to no one in particular –
the phalarope
–
fog covered pond
chilly autumn morn —
phalaropes in agreement
–
