Lakeview
I
Vast hollow scraped
from land by the
slow cadence of some
retreating glacier.
Melt from high flows
larvic to fill the void.
Quiet invasion of
waters forming
stone quarrying
rivers until,
overfilled the
crystal clears
Overspills and
streams to ocean
lapping at milk-
white cliffs,
hungry as cats.
II
Quiet invasion
walking on
continental drift
Wattle and daub
blue-dyed men
lakeside.
III
Hush now the
quiet priest
hands out leaf
to cover the fig
fruit of fecundity
IV
Without sound
quiet bands move
always move and
increase until
Around the fire in
moonlit waters shown
the tom toms open
relentless beat
V
Too late
too late the quiet
invaders imitate
and mock
Then ****-
Nations at war
within
