as the pond reduces
surfaces thicken
duck oil castoreum lint
whirlpool for a half-second
feathers fluff & dust
stirred up blossoms
bullfrogs infest the eastern edge
fat tadpoles wriggle in the sun
conquest of space
wave shapes
impossible boulders to pick up
undependable underfoot
a vice tightened & then discarded
welded to another object
as a kind of test
lichen spirals names letters fresh
indications on the breeze
