Halcyon

Halcyon By Ingrid Bruck

Peaceful words, many nature-inspired, hike submontane trails of Appalachia, pass verdant woods in the foothills where a kingfisher flits and fishes from riparian bank to bank. An islet with pink sand or shale shores, a waterfall named, Horsetail Falls. Sea turtles and plovers have littoral rights to some nesting beaches. Jersey’s Thunderdome (sports arena) in Tenton sounds halcyon but isn’t.
