Still waters:
No arctic blast from the Northeast;
No tropical breeze from the Southwest.
The Bay rests, an inverted Mt. Tamalpais on its surface,
Seemingly as ageless in its image as in its reality,
But for the soft concentric ripples from a lone pelican
Floating there, creating undulating perspectives.
I too am that pelican in still waters.
