Birdbath

[Don Schaeffer]

When the light
is masked in the Spring
I think of Europe,
the home of fairy tales.

Somewhere in Europe,
the door to the border
of the unbelievable is open.
I would be able to see shadows inside.

I am nearly content with crocus,
emerging from the mat of dead red leaves.
The model in my brain
is bigger than I've ever seen.

The top of the bird bath gets lost in the background.

[Don Schaeffer]

thanks MB. That's sort of what I saw.

I like how it gets lost, it's a bit of an optical illusion. The only things that doesn't fit that trend is the bottom left green branch, which introduces three dimensionality.
