View from the bridge [179]
View from the bridge

They cavort y'know:
the swans, the geese, the ducks —
especially the ducks.
They wait until we turn the other way
then continue making —
ducks.

Then beavers glide up channels
to gather leaves at the base of half-gnawed trees
where eddies swirl.

And we? We watch the swallows swoop,
then cross the bridge to drown our sorrows.
Those of us afraid to swim,
unable to fly.
