Smalls Falls

By Carolyn Gelland

 

I bow to you, Waterfall,

and converse with your

Egyptian scrolls,

a flotilla of parables,

bell-buoys

talking on the water.

 

Ferry in the Sunset

By Kenneth Frost

 

The oval ferry

stretches its mouth

and spins

around and around

the sunset,

chasing its dog’s

fleas of music,

slapping the water

in applause.

The cars blister

their windshields

in the red sun

and the bay foams,

flashing

porpoises

in the ferry’s wake.
