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
