ghost egret,
she wades in the rivers our fathers planted
wing-wise
ghost egret,
she glides in gilded clouds our mothers cried
eye-wise
ghost egret,
she pounces on trout our brothers threw back
beak-wise
eye snare the sunset,
blood bleeding
softly
smoldering tropical sage
thunder brewing in our
stew marsh pot
wind lifting florida’s red lips
kiss-wise

ghost egret,
steward our memories
bloodlet our minds float
bone-wise
steward our memories
bloodlet our minds float
bone-wise
I think this is about a white egret.
