canoe
by the oyster bay
in a mountain blue
let the hand through
the gray,
canoe
where a seal or two
blinks and strays
in a mountain blue,
swirling water into new
wine-coloured shades.
canoe,
stretch the light you
saw had stayed
in a mountain blue.
what is this body you drew
like a bolt from the clay?
canoe
in a mountain blue.
