Impression: Morning Fog – a poem by John Muro

Impression: Morning Fog
 
Fog holds and puddles air             
like a luminous gauze
that seamlessly draws
in both form and light.
 
Now, one can hardly hear
the tides that stumble
towards shore in crumpled
flight.
 
A gull suddenly appears,
broken body shifting
and wings tilting;
it’s sequin-bright
 
descending to blur
then dissolving into
a brilliant absence of blue
and white.
