Analysis of Puget Sound
silver tinsel twined
through lazy waters brine
by a clouded sun
reflecting
the sailboats putter
close
while the cruise ships
shadow most
and the ferries travel
coast
to coast
the wind spools
off the surface
like blue ribbons
falling, falling
while the seagulls
stretch their
wings
soaring, calling
calling
cities
evergreens
islands aline
this Sound of views
so greatly divine
coffee scents mix
into clouded skies
and the sailboats
sail far
final goodbyes
