the dance of the captive
(a not so still life)
the down captured
frozen in the ice
just off the asphalt
the white against the gray
the color of early winter
caught on the way
the dance of the captive
the down yearning to break
free
to warm the nest of a
creature
a hedge against the cold

the dance of the captive
a piece of down stuck in the ground by the parking area

Two sets of images:

someone put on my image, the following comment:
“Looks like feathers coming out of the
ice.”
I responded:
“in the simplest, literal sense, it is a
macro photograph of down of the feathers
of some unknown bird caught in a small
bit of ice on our driveway maybe about
an inch and a half long; but to me, o my
eye, it is reminiscent or evocative of
other imagery, such as a cicada pupa or
a larval stage of some moth or other
insect about to burst out of a clear
cocoon, partially exposed because of the
feathers being like the wings of a moth,
or maybe some sort of fossilized
creature with a spine in the middle of
the image right.”
