Flow

Wet yet spring in step, hopeful yet of late Spring

A lapping spring thought imaginary, hidden since history

No mad king’s lap-spread map could bring you to its brink

Only chance, happenstance, incidence or accidents provide access to the relaxing idyll

 where they stoop to drink and linger a little, a little thing

The ring of the lake now a breakable mirror rink

The drowned, the gilled, the guilty; alike encased in hazy, scraped crystalline ice

And old slowgoing trees finally bowl over.
