out of water
stir the meatless stew
in an active stance-
legs spread open wide
barefuoot on the shore
anchored to the earth-
empty open sky.

Those last two lines! That “earth-/empty” is wonderful and deceptively simple. Great piece.
*barefoot* whoops.
Nicely conceived. I agree about the last verse.
Nice ending!
so good all the way through,
image & sound mix so well.
Title and “empty open sky”
evoke The West in me
I love the spare detail – I think I spy a Sijo.
