Only in silence the word...(Ursula LeGuin)



Day 43


A single, white feather
drifts in heat-ribbons
to the frozen ground,

lands amongst the blades
tipped with silver,

trembles;

waits for wings to fly.


(from my Book of Days, a work in life-progress)

This is lovely and precise and perfectly formed, like a small feather.
