The Seagull On The Floor
Stone unmoved
Gathers mud
Restless rain.
Quiet morning
Sows seed
Pickles and marmalade.
She drops anchor
When the dish is served
Tired flamingo legs.
A pillow of feathers>BR/>
On a bed of primrose
Deep electric sleep.
She loves
Wind and rain
Restless cry of a lost seagull.
Waves roll
Like huge serpents
Without a net.
Streets flood
Cars stuck
Endless confusion.
As she wakes
A door opens
The seagull falls to the floor.
Dream or real
She loves it
The seagull on the floor.
Stone moves
Gathers no moss
Rolls like her dream.
