hors d'oeuvres

two dying minnows

trapped in the pelican's pouch

fresh hors d'oeuvres for lunch

Temporary

While Willets wade
the shallow surf,

Sanderlings design
and redesign
the saturated sand,

signing their signatures
with temporary tracks,

and feeding while 
the water's receding, 

then leaving.
