Dark Sphinxes

Dark sphinxes spearing chill morning air, ranged like sentries among the rickety spines of ever-so-slightly budding branches, the cormorants, their stiff, gilly wings outspread to dry, stud the logs that perch above the lake like the planks of pirate ships. Black as bats and shaped not too unlike them - save for their fancy, fan-like feathers, elongated necks, peachy jaws and bright, candle-white beaks - poised above the water in unruffled patience, wings trembling in the wind.
