Sunlit water frolics over a stone-strewn base. Chattering waters, playfully tumbling children on a high hill, rolling down. Both translucent and opaque blues and greens magnified by reflection, slice-cut by refraction, laved with a satin-wetness; stones color, beginning where, ending where; I am not to know. High mountain waters strained of impurities by crystalline sand gilded purveyors of bountiful imaginings: leaf boats with twig masts, brilliant red-purple chiton-backed beetles float, lost sailors. Sunlit waters dance, smile-seekers, laughter-breeders; water falls ever on. First Published in Pyrokinections Spring 2013
