LAWN SHADOWS

                    by Ferris Gilli and Elizabeth St Jacques
 
 
 
 

lawn shadows—
a blue heron flies low
toward the river
 

flat stone
in the pond
stone heron
 

Mama's stone
warmed by April sun
I trace her name
 

replaying the tape
of her dear voice
– Mother’s Day
 

Oktoberfest
a drinking song echoes
from the castle wall
