The Rock Cormorants (of Patagonia)

The Rock Cormorants (of Patagonia)


There are no insults, moans or protests
Among the Rock Cormorants of Patagonia—
Only we humans want heaven on earth,
There is no end to our complaining:
we want it all, now!
But the Rock Cormorants, stand nearly erect
On narrow high cliffs, eating and sleeping
and making their nests…
And remain content!


Note: White visiting the area between the Pluschow Glacier and the Piloto and Nena Glaciers, there are many cliffs (for the most part quite rocky, glacier-eroded landscapes), and one can see these Rock and Imperial Cormorants, birds perched on the edges of these narrow cliffs. Their eggs are flat (Patagonia, Chile) No: 2857 (10-24-2010). This poem was carved somewhat in the Ramage style created by Robert Bly, inflaming the sounds of: in , air (er), ar.
