grasses sway, the egret stalks, & even tree roots seem to crawl.

drifting downstream,
the prow points our way
to open sea.

at mangrove’s edge:
a croc, mouth agape.
lazy hunter?

When setting sunlight warms
silvery tree trunks &
mangrove reeds,
and they alternate with
deep shadows,
I finally understand
the tiger’s camouflage.

clouds lift
to reveal jade hills:
Tah-Dahhhh!
