Hunting
& Gathering
time like a sleek
dark cormorant
glides through space
dives deeply
and always moves
towards certainty

nice blog. interesting...
just passing by..
Two poems for the price of one. A lot of thought went into this piece. How else could it be so thought provoking? The interweaving of time and space is signified beautifully in the structure of the poem. The image of the dark cormorant is breathtaking (I had to look up cormorant online and saw a picture of one).
I read time as the "hunting" and space as the "gathering". This idea alone is rich with layers of meaning. I enjoyed pondering them while reading the poem several times.
This is also my favorite piece that plays with the shape of the poem. I see a picture of a dark breasted cormorant flying across the page. All in all, this is an eloquent, multilayered, unique and enjoyable piece!
