doe and freckled fawn
walk a high river bank
close to the city
one fish rose
just to say hello
rod and reel at home
all these problems
sadness and depression
drifting smoke downstream
juvenile hawk
stumbles onto a branch
above my head
an hour passes 
water strider near the bank
shows me shadow moves
my blue jay friend
has a helmet for a head
rushing water’s voice
cities of creepers
organisms not seen at 
the macro level
whatever that was
made that rustle behind me
gone now
