Look
12 Robins
Working the mud of the creek
There too
One bathing
20 degrees what a freak
Look
12 Robins
Working the mud of the creek
There too
One bathing
20 degrees what a freak
there, glimpsed, at creek-side
a blue and white orchid
flowers
bringing me to
brown water
white noise
green light
a photosynthesis
come child,
sit on this rock
put your innocent young feet
in this cool trout water
and nibble on grace
now is that time
to linger
to lean
to touch
to master this flowering music
and sit in the grace
of your light
above the bending channel
two Kingfishers race
like Formula 1 velociraptors
on the circuit de Rock Creek
like me
the Mallards hear them coming
then going
unlike me
they’re unmoved
