The way a fish

moves through water,

through light, the way light

doubles the body

of the fish, turns it

into a mirror of itself,

the mirror being

the water’s invitation

to see a bright pool

of scales where

once there was a fish,

a school of silver coins,

a great, green-glass

chandelier dangling

in the flow, each cut-glass

drop sewn like sequins

to the wind, the wind being

the way the water moves

around the coins,

the coins being another

way to see the fish, the way

it moves through

water, through light

the way it doubles, becomes

a silver mirror, the mirror

being the fish disappearing

into a thousand versions of itself.
