April on Swinomish channel

The sun we've been longing for finally granted us its warm blanket of light
that over the channel married the water,
casting a parcel of light on each wavelet,
a blanket of millions of sparkling diamonds
floating on the surface,
like millions of silver fishes moving in the gentle current.
You almost expect the siren to emerge out of the melted lead,
but instead the metallic wire dinosaur sculpture encaging the gangway
looks like it's floating above the waters.
