far down a
jagged stretch
of human made
lakethe carp have mutinied
schooling together
like it was their last stand
with the lily pads
and green algae
a blue heron takes up nesting in disguise
away from every possible fishing boat
calm water is
a wednesday morning
just before
school lets out for the summer
all the news of the day
goes unnoticed
the sun here
is small
cloaked in faded cloud
the only drama
