Ducks & Mama - Poetry of God’s World

Ducks and Mama

white green brown purplish-blue mallards
shake the air like mama shook
her sheets before pinning
them to the clothes line
a wire happy with waving white sheets
as happy as mama with the clothes
she made bright white
almost as eye stinging
as this january sunlight
on uvas creek
