Black Creek
I.
the
dead float
in
the wake
of
a newly steered craft
I
stare in wonder
at
the radiance ahead
carried
toward
clear
water
I
see
no
ghosts in shadows
no
floating corpses
only
the deep green
of
spring
floating
lily pads
and
a new face
beside
my own.
II
We float
caught in the flow
wings flash white
past rain-washed wood.
Reality slips sideways
and drifts
like a feather.
An Ent winks
by black water
his laugh heard
by the wind.
We sail
our silent passage
reflected in
a snake's eyes
and the streak of a wing.
