West Park: Sun Boat
West Park: Sun Boat

Bill Herbert's poetry was full of inspiring imagery:

the sun will always take
the whole tide of day

     rowed
     by a crew of birds
    drawn
    by its yellow sail

to cross whichever sky
we sit beneath to watch it

    carrying
     its cargo of heat
    steering
    by its own star

stretch and relax the light
exactly into sleep


The gilded sun disk is an image drawn from Egyptian carvings. My sun floats on cloud and draws ripples in the tide.
