Antique Weathervane

modern turns old
in my verdigris mouth
copper cupola skin
weathers newborn
ideas to deep tarnish
what once was a
smoothly articulate
vane in surmount of
my mind now stands
heedless of thought
bearing winds frozen
rusting in place
pointed permanently
at my cardinal past

Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte

I contradict the poet . His portfolio evidences his 360° perspectives. Otherwise a fine piece.

Wonderful imagery. Had to look up “verdigris” and “cupola”- incredible word choices. Wonderful perspective- I have to agree with Mike- 360 degree perspectives. Beautiful.
