The river curves and spills
muddied yet shimmering
out of the frame and into the room
smelling of sea-tang
The winter of teasels
in the windless foreground
sky stained the yellow of sunset
like melted butter
on the edges of pools
The land dark as a crow’s wing
as a flight of cormorants
flies over sea-grey
The pools are ice-blue
russet as apples
the pink of a blush
