The Peacock

Out of nowhere a beautiful
Peacock showed up in our
Quiet little neighborhood.
It struts around with its
Rainbow of feathers all
Spread out. It has this call
That sounds like someone’s
Being murdered. It won’t
Let anybody near–it might
Chase them anyway.

The Sea

I love the sea at night.

It is darkness transformed

Into into a mysterious liquid.

The moonlight sparkles

On the waves and is hypnotic

To look at. It occurs to a

Person that the sea is where

We came from.
