The Creek
by
Danny P. Barbare


Next
 

Tuliptrees, sycamore, American holly.
A water moccasin around a limb.
A brook with flecks of fool's gold.
Broken shards of glass.
Crayfish and spotted salamanders,
Common s
hiner minnows.
A vine dangling over the creek.
Slick wet rock.
Green moss on a stone.
A dragonfly--Devil's darning needle
--
On a leaf.
Corn snake in the culvert.
Thornbush blooming white blooms.
Pokeberries, Silvery Spleenwort ferns.
Bare feet in the cold water.
Hunter's knife in sheath.
Crew cotton socks,
Old leather boots from Sears on bank.
