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, puncutred, 

gripped.

then nothing,

no one left,

a wisp within a photo.

no reflection, 

not unless sunlight

slants just so.

brown flames, then.

brown flames and ivory embers.
