Stephen Romer

Abruptly a wing . . .

Abruptly a wing . . .

Abruptly a wing . . .

Abruptly a wing may open
and come beating
out of the cloudbank

and then a whole
freewheeling company
as if the cloud had stored them

in a long embalming
of ashlight and cumulus:
strangely disinterred

they swoop upriver
in a sequence
of achieved articulations.

Abruptly a wing . . .

Abruptly a wing may open
and come beating
out of the cloudbank

and then a whole
freewheeling company
as if the cloud had stored them

in a long embalming
of ashlight and cumulus:
strangely disinterred

they swoop upriver
in a sequence
of achieved articulations. 

Abruptly a wing . . .
