folded butterfly
might pass for a leaf,
if not bright orange

folded butterfly
might pass for a leaf,
if not bright orange

rocky tops stand out,
above the ocean waves,
but what lies below?

mossy rocks
catch the afternoon sun:
dark & light facets

a tree on the shore,
in stony ground & briny
water, thrives!

the crab that scurries
when i come within ten feet,
caught unaware by waves

the kingfisher
surveys the Arabian Sea
in kingly fashion

one shaggy branch
cranes out over the shore,
receives light reward

a perfect wave
dashes onto the rocks.
the next one? who knows!

two crows wrestle,
spiraling to the ground.
big, black maple seed
