Dawn In the Pond
Coots sleepily dabble
in a smudge of water.
Wisp-wings waft
on a surface mist.
Dipping ducks,
necks tucked into the half-light.
watch muddy shadows dive
under mounds of stalky flotsam.
Vista’s gather to paint
their levees of light.
A slight uplift opens
in a drape of sky.
Dawn emerges through reflection,
through liquid eyes,
a looking-glass sun
swims deep-up from above.
