GUILFORD — Above Sweet Pond
a great blue heron hovers
over a brown trout:
* * *
In Sweet Pond
frogs hide
from a winged shadow.
* * *
Beside Sweet Pond
mushrooms push
from earth after rain.
* * *
On Sweet Pond
dragonflies wheel
through my daydreams.
* * *
Without Sweet Pond
where will the sky
see its face
as water thins
to a ribbon?
