Light Matter
Mutable border mud and muck
cattails sidle into shallows
The open water always the color
of sky catches a jay flying
over trackless feathery
Shoreline willow dives
below ripples cat’s paw
Surface that swallows sun
and moon
A heron glides down to fish
at the edges Her image
swims up to meet her
