Bright blue flash, quick as a smile,
The fisher king above the sparkling spate,
Holds him captive for an instant
Before it vanishes among the leaves.
The world moving on
Bears him along, powerless.
Winter’s memory fades with the sunlight
Dappling the ground beneath the trees.
No betrayal.
Assimilation.
She lives on beneath the canopy
Of spreading boughs,
Within the flowing beck,
Beside the moss and violas.
Resurrected in the honeysuckle.
The fisher king above the sparkling spate,
Holds him captive for an instant
Before it vanishes among the leaves.
The world moving on
Bears him along, powerless.
Winter’s memory fades with the sunlight
Dappling the ground beneath the trees.
No betrayal.
Assimilation.
She lives on beneath the canopy
Of spreading boughs,
Within the flowing beck,
Beside the moss and violas.
Resurrected in the honeysuckle.
