Quilcene

The Olympic Music Festival found its way into a poem.  Mike and I love sitting on the lawn outside the barn and listening to beautiful music as we doze.




Quilcene

a blue sky day mottled by clouds
so white their edges cut the eye

from the southeast a gyrating mist
under a layer of billowed iron

that rushes
a dispersed atmosphere

an uneven blending of white cotton
over gray wool then black dots

birds
 a seagull, to wrens, a crow

they crease the pattern
a seam of wings

beating against the flow of Dvorak
