JOY GEYSER
When the rock of pain is released
and removed
the joy fountain beneath it can
geyser into the light
SWIFT
Swooping so swiftly
the winged swifts
airborn satellites
round the cliffs
foiled by the sky
their feathery script
Living quicksilver,
their flight does shift.
Contagious joy ignites our own..
one of God's greatest gifts
(this poem is to muse Ilsa Setziol
who said
'white-throated swifts dart out of nests in the cliff')

a masterful poem on wheeling birds)
