Black wide-winged raven staring down
at a white feather trying to reach sandy ground.
No hag stone in sight. Sea gull cries in flight.
The clouds have seized the lighthouse,
making an empty horizon hang
an absence on blank canvas.
An island has been painted over by grey skies
that have the last laugh. The moon without a crescent,
cannot wax or wane to half.
