Twin Ponds

turtles sing, straining
sounds bubble through pond's skin
thin green celadine
 
dining on roasted
celery hearts-olives dropped
within long turrets
 
ragosa-wild rose
if you permeate the air
anymore, i'll cry
 
within the sculpture
of your amorous embrace,
little lovely death
 
releasing, luring
forgetting the waltz, journey
is as sweet, complete
 
after we climb peak
we descend so carefully,
holding heights within
 
egrets prefer shade
within the heat of may day
play tag, cooly flirt
 
waterfalls parade
overgrowth in trees receive
watery loving
 
stream, west of still pond
loyal to wider waters
spills grace as she moves
 
so many red wing
black birds screech in forest joy
we take the red in
