pull with bottom
paddle arcs
droplets form nested circles waves of light
ripples on water, wind made visible
glide towards asylum*
red eyes stare from black, white stripes and dots
anticipating salt water shores and winter breezes
sun sets behind evergreen silhouettes
cries from collared throats haunt nights.

on to the season of yin
cold makes warm possible
dark makes light possible
returning. approaching. opening.
surrender to seasons, to love
formations guard; calls of warning
diving for nourishment
