A Poem for Two Voices:

Voice I Voice"

Mv solidness quivers slightlv with Sitting bv the swamp 1 look and 1 see.
motion 1 spread mv wings...

That grows from the pull of mi:neighbor The sun ravs send
the ocean And 1 am shimmering black
Graceful wings lift up and float
Shimmering sttlli: 1 look and 1 see.
1 take on the likeness of what ere's back
Almost touch the water with wing tip.
above me.
Caressing the salt air. gliding it
Greetings, Mv frtend! treelv. arching. releasing.
Like vou 1 am shimmering black. steadtlv through the air.
Xippling wings contract and stretch
Caressing the gilding. Sun-sparkle.
back flow. arching
Almost touch into one at wing tip.
find place for hiding.
Motion caressing the mirror.gliding so
tteelv steadilv. arching.
releasing 1 mirror.

Sun-sparkle. gliding. caressing. arching
with flow...

And now 1 settle back into the deep - Clara Werner
Where vour image will altoavs keep
And 1 will be here when vou return.
