Blackberry Pond
I fell into the blackberry pond
and forgot how to swim on my back
The water was topped off with lilies and things
that swam under me in the deep black
The dragonfly queen requested a ride
on the tippy top tip of my fingers
She sparkled and danced with a buggle-eyed glance
at the queen butterfly called her sister
The ripples on pools of which shimmer of shadows
from trees hanging branches to dip
bring nector to otters and lighten the load
of the dry-mouthed, delightful to sip
A current of fishes and hobble scotch wishes
and sweet memories from beyond
The clouds full of sky light and holding on too tight
disolve into blackberry pond.
