Across Waves, Across Surface Tension (Poem and Painting)




( Shelburne Bay, August - Painting by Kevin Macneil Brown,
acrylic on canvas, 2009)






-----------------------

Ancient strength
and curve of flow of
waters between


Lone Rock Point’s
time-stilled geology

and
open arms of
Appletree Bay.



South, across waves,
across surface tension

Odzihozo
(the massive Rock Dunder)

changing, becomes,

in changing light
and beyond long journey,

a gray, weathered sail
or resting eagle.



- Kevin Macneil Brown
