The Sky Is Filled With Voices
-Kerfe Roig
Tawny Owl At Coach and Horses.
-John Law
Blue of sky
to river flowing
colored light
green growing
tall, bright, with birdsong trilling
day into night
mockingbird
sings. Hawk is screeching
gulls laugh back,
call goodbye
to fly in formation, light-
glimmered wings in flight
paths swirling,
all the sounds whirling—
sky voices,
birds and bees,
stars and moon, owl’s mournful whoooo?
So, you dream of scenes—
blue of sky
and river flowing,
all the birds’
bright knowing,
summer sounds in winter’s dream—
I turn towards you.
