than the soft angelic murmurations of starlings…”
Deep Waters

as dark storms spin a cunning entrance
gathering fears below my autumn realm…”

softly settle on their deep—quiescent waters..."

with my Scottish name—Douglas
meaning dark river..."

born beneath lost—lonely rainbows
churn deep colors into hoary froths..."

three indomitable powers of time
molded into water, ice, and wind…”

the pure hearts of our whispering waters…”

The Nth River
“the final flows of our weary sky-blue rivers
turbid from stretches of exasperated erosion
stirred up in colors of boundless branches
will gracefully empty into an endless ocean”
