Dusk At the Great Swamp In Early Spring
Dusk at the Great Swamp* in early Spring
Applauding
at the curve of twilight
you’ll hear them:
tree frogs.
Bending, feigning
one way then the other,
Greek dancers:
trees.
Concentrating keenly,
with spy scopes
on distant rookeries:
birders.
Disturbing the peace
of winter meditation,
rearing herself:
swamp giant.
