black and grey silhouette
photographer’s
silvered gelatin image
of a ship, sails slack, motionless
but for frills of velvet sea
that nudge, gently rock
like breath
masts black again pale sky
remnants of frost
or forest fire
twist of torn tree
hollow fallen
bone bleached through bark, grey
hand-smooth
open heart contorted
a wrench around its core
as it fell
I want that spiral
in a song
the pond a bowl
of light and sky
