The Mirror in the Water
Mirrored canal
mid September
early morning
the forest breathes.
Inhale, exhale,
and water leaves
wave
upside down
the other side of the atmosphere.
In such a sacred place of rest
Narcissis fell,
lovestruck
by the framing riverbank
and the fluid world
below.
The branches
under glass.
He
gazes down
into the endlessly deep
nether world of inverse light.
He can not
look away.
