Canoe
Canoes
(Sunriver)
it's very shape
and reflection is poetic
not a crescent
moon's reflection on a body of water
but still some
how elegant
it contains
bodies
with arms that
likes to trail a hand in the cool surface of liquid
and eyes that
watch the whirls of water as the paddles dip and drag
and propel the
aluminum craft along a lazy river
Red Wing Bird
among the cat tails
(Several nights
later, we looked at the shape of Saturn and the craters of the moon, in the telescopes
at the observatory. On that night, the moon was full so it was hard to
see the stars because the night sky was so br ight.
The guide pointed out the constellation with his laser pointer.)
it's very shape
evokes journey
which begins
with a release the un-tethered and an easy flow
even on a short
row in an afternoon
a respite from
land
to admire the
green plants from the river's bottom
and the swifts
flying above
and we are
between earth
and sky
the start and
the finish
stern and bow
here and there
