Waters School Road

A false prophet

the most delicate feather

plucked from a fallen bird

brilliant as a thistle

as the tiniest speck of lavender

you never noticed

at the center of Queen Anne’s lace

The road narrows to darkness

along its edge in the deepest green

the fish-white belly of a frog

his legs

sprawled in violent dance

My own faint tracks

the diamond

the nerve in the sole of my shoe

You are here in my hand

or moving under my hand

like a river leaving no trail

or a light growing dim
