the coral-hued lake
will soon be the inky void
between coastal lights.
fallen petals
swept by undulating waves
into a neat pile.
one fisherman,
boat undulating on the
lake at sunrise.
a turtle
slips into the water:
no sound / no ripple.
a blossom falls
into the water:
i look. itâs gone.
from still water
juts deadwood on which herons
perch with their shadows.
leaves have dropped;
reflected sun viewed twixt
bristled seedpod clusters.
ducks drift lazily
on water that sparkles
with winter sunlight.
