Balinese Birds

Helena Mult

Ten bali birds move merrily
         in my window facing West
Waiting for the sun to crest
         luminescing sculptured clones
carved from colored cuttlebones —
         amethyst and emerald green
gold, topaz and tourmaline.

Swinging on their fragile strings,
         choreographed in spiralings,
synchronized with on-shore breeze
         from yonder vast Pacific seas
they syncopate in magic motion,
         tangling and untangling wings.
They are mesmerizing things!
