On water’s surface evidence of wind
also identical twins
of marsh grasses upside-down a darker tinge
also marbleized rainbow slicks
in quiets by black mud
also a stick
also a white plastic bag
red words say Thank You
Sky rides on water’s surface
perpetuates palette
without weight or repercussion
spreads sky grey to swamp water
stripes
SKY
LAND
LAND
SKY
—sky lies
also floats
below land
on the water’s surface
Thank you
