Poem: Log Turtle Pond Dusk

 

Log Turtle Pond Dusk

 

shadow smooth,

mossy-lime shapes,

inconstant as frills

in a play of breeze,


and yet

 

a knuckle on a log,

a pond-shell oval,

reclines so meek 

above the darkling water,


almost fetal,

this turtle of the serene eve,

tucked into a serenade 

of lulls and swells--


of stars and Venus 

and the revelries of croakers.
