Poem: Eagle Over Lake

 

Eagle Over Lake

 

shadow on aqua,

slow oval, an invisible turn

of current and figure,

 

keen of fang, water the skin, 

a stray ripple

the neck,

white head, silver spine,

a wriggle hauled, gripped, 

punctured.

then nothing,

nothing left,

a wisp within a photo, 

no reflection

 unless sunlight slants just so.

brown flames then,

brown flames and ivory embers.
