March 11th
This lake drinks
from the lawns and lilacs around it:
NO CHEMICALS!
Leaps
with rosy trout,
big ones too smart to become dinner;
Feeds
their sprat to osprey,
heron, diving ducks;
Welcomes
otters, who rest on our dock,
kissing each other;
Enjoys
swimmers.
My hot skin feels the water smile.
