Up at the top of the acre
where the overflow stand-
pipe comes up
out of the grass,
there's so much running
water that reeds and rushes
have taken over
and choked up the land
In the evening
looking up to the window
as I wash
I see a family of roe deer, down
from the woods
in among the reeds
In the morning
they're still grazing there
quietly
as if nothing’s
changed
