Shapeshifting

Kingfisher blue

this March morning

skydives towards

our window sill.

The sun bounces

a dazzle patch

on the white glazed

earthenware jug.

A shapeshifting

wonder of gold

not to be claimed

counted or owned.

Magpies stream by

capsize grey clouds.

Shade unfurls the jug's

forgotten pink frieze design.
