How Bright the Dew

...each a reflection of a world remade
laid by a river's flight.

Time's is a swimmer on this water road.
By a rickety dock herons fish for rainbows
riding on silvery trout.

Here on a meadow bank
dewy droplets
bracelet wet stems.
An iridescence
beads a newborn morn

My dog sniffs the prismatic air,
the fresh fledged green;
sweeps her bushy tail
scattering
a sparkling fringe of sky.
