Moonlit Rivière Ravens
The moon hung like a silver coin plucked from the dark and set above the rivière, pouring cool light that smoothed the world into hushed, patient tones. Reeds along the bank kept their counsel, only shivering when a passing breeze—soft and secretive—carried the smell of wet stone and riverweed.
On a low pier of driftwood and tangled roots, two ravens perched close together, their feathers catching the moon in a dozen small, cold reflections. They leaned toward one another as if sharing the same thought.
They made no sound; the rivière spoke for them, whispering around submerged stones and sending ripples like folded letters down its length. Fireflies rose and fell above the water, tiny lanterns that stitched the dark with intermittent gold. Their light trembled across the ravens’ backs and the surface of the river, adding a soft, animated punctuation to the moon’s steady silver.
The scene held a quiet accord: moon, water, birds, and the delicate, drifting fireflies’.
