Deanna Utroske Evening Wings	back to table of contents back to main

Bright reflections accelerate
past metallic feathers in the night.
Street lamps wink
at the raven-blue enamel.

Rain

falls

drips

drops

splashes

to the pavement.

Drizzling reflections swirl
amidst puddles.
Jagged light jewels
the sky;
crack-boom,
THUNDER
startles the silent Bird.

We look away and return
at dawn
to stand in the mist,
our shoes
damp.
