willows cascade,
evoking waterfalls
on craggy cliffs.

turtles sun
on the statue’s base,
becoming statue.

the curious child
remains unbaffled by the
complexities
of snail amore:
thinking the lead a tow-snail.

Do I look blurry to a fish,
as if a floating cloud?
Does it expect I’ll dart away
as silence rings aloud?

a swamp,
beautifully adorned,
poses for pics.

eyes follow stems
down to water, & further
down to sky.

gray clouds
over the river
make silver waters.

algae-covered pond:
provides a blank-slate
for shadow art.
