vaneramosbelow the garden
and parched lawn
down scattered rocks
glacial till long harboured
hidden dry under hawthorns
ancient pond beyond trembling
aspens you couldn't
see its secret
wood ducks nest
their invisible shriek
calling
stumble past
red-osier
burst through
stepping sedges
almost stepping
almost
trampling
a sitting circle
wait
and nod
of yellow lady's slippers
