Lucid

By Karin Spitfire

 

 

twice this summer

the river water was 

 

so still

so still 

 

above so as below

mirror reflecting fact

 

the rocks, the moss, the fallen logs

the rocks, the moss, the fallen logs

 

tall green trees the sky the clouds

in the still water, so as above is below

 

mesmerizing symmetry, native bead designs belting the rim

mesmerizing symmetry, native bead designs belting the rim

 

the goddess's back bone exposed, the central canal,

portal to somewhere shimmering
