Daybreak at Pikes Creek
[Summer of 2005]Daybreak by Lake Superior
Rising out of the woods like:
A swamp mist
I’m waiting for breakfast(at the B&B)
I pace the grounds
The scent of green shrubbery:
Trees, flora, flowers—rain
Intoxicates me—
Branches like big brown arms
Descend…
The embankment, to the right
Blue eyed, like mine—reflect
From the creek beneath me
(my wife says ‘be careful’
she went to get the camera)
The greens and blues touch
My face and blue jeans—
Reflections mirrored like
Musi.
