there are a few, those who should tidy,
those who pump and clear, those who
investigate.
water beetles float their legs, paddle
the river, dimpling surface. hang on
the bridge , warming back and watch.
water men wear high visibility, while
the beetle shines black.
lately we have cut the paths
and planted bluebells.
