in electic quietude...whispers a circling time...around a small tower of stones...balanced in a virtical dance of gravity...the top quivers breathlessly...the bottom clings to the earth...the silver grey sky glows...radiating sun warmed air...turkey vultures circle on invisible currents...shadows transitive stains on the land below...blue jays...hopping about the dried grass pick at the new growth full of insects...heckle a wandering porcupine...an expectant stillness holds the moment...
