deep in the woods
on the frozen vernal pond
the music played on
Ephemeral Pool
ephemeral pool
mysterious light
microbial magic
Both
living tableau
the vernal pond’s
abstraction and fact
The Music Played
concert at the vernal pond
the flutist serenades
obligate and facultative inhabitants
Music Leads The Way
by the frozen vernal pond
in winter’s dark white
the flutist plays
Mossy Logs and Pollywogs
the verdant pond
green soup of life
