The Gull

A lake ninety miles long crowned with inviting waters         that conceal mystic tones  the shade of unnamed depths Shorelines plucked from infinity      dappled in their attainment are jeweled in lichen sprinkled over  patterns of boreal rock face Several shores lines note  intermittent clearings    houses    fields where gulls entreat the land         rejecting the sweet of a lake seized in pure, bold water spray   But you     carrion bird       you      who’d sooner trash about            while eagles track endless heights               through skies that veil angel wings                     you with unemployed webbed feet                            soar only above the hollows                                  of land and rubbish.
