Cormorants

Description

Seaweed and fish in the ocean, and a goose on the beach with logs and trees. Black and white bordered with blue. Text that reads: "Cormorants
are wise to Bernoulli's effect,
skim the waves to catch
the lifting air

dive for fish
which shine like stars
under green water

are blue-black reptiles,
sinuous necks aloft, surprised
that air and water do not mix

are prone to saturation,
must pose on drifting logs
wings akimbo, a fantastic

ragged clothesline
of witches, flapping
in an east wind"
