perhaps something arty... or domestic?
It's from a poem by Judith Beveridge: The Lake
the Line is:
"Soon the pelicans will sail in, fill and filter
the pink. Far off she can see where tannin"....
Judith Beveridge tends to add multiple layers to her poems. This one is about a woman watching a lake. It uses domestic ("her days spent amongst tiles and formica"), musical and female ("fingernails held out for a manicure") imagery. It also features birds, trees, insects and colours/light.
If you can think of any particular meaning of "fill and filter" that might fit in with any of these categories, it would be a big help.
also think about "a coveted berry" ... i can only think of one thing... and it's a bit random for this poem.
