CLIFF JUMPING, SOYERS LAKE
by Patricia Miller, Writer. Poet. Coordinator.

I’m perched
On a steep ledge
Of dense brown rock
Like a blue jay
Willing my wings to
Flutter, flap, soar
Having conquered this land before
Instead I freeze
Drop down low
Flippant courage waning
I press my knees
Upon a pad of damp moss
Spying the waves
Wink
Wink
Wink
A wonder of silver winks
Waiting for a western wind to
Blow
Blow
Blow
Across the bay
And stir me from here –
Sunday’s spot.
