Beside the road to the marina,
cockatoos flare suddenly
in sky the wind has worked all night
to clarify.
Light wells out across the sea,
flowing landward from Kanomi,
haloing the silhouettes of birds
as black as ebony,
displaying fanned vermilion tails
like vivid rays in scallop shells
against the coral wash of tide
where sun is just about to rise.
Black cockatoo daybreak

Living among wooden houses of the North
I've been able to imagine cockatoos in the Southern sky
And corals and shells of the coastline. Thanks to your talent.
Sincerely, Biber Bibaradum
