Some Voyage

Ekphrasis from a coffee shop* table top 

A three-masted sailing ship, with a mini figure on board, wearing a broad-brimmed hat, is drifting across a pond. He’s left behind an oak-beamed Wendy House and a small girl is calling back to it from the far side of the pond, while counting on her fingers, “One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten—that’s how many babies I’m going to have!”

feather on the wind
in a dreamcatcher the song
of Hiawatha
