in a morning conversation
at a fork
in the road
beside weeds
a large pothole
impersonating a lake
invites my eyes
to skate over
the mirror
of its reflection
a bowl of clouds
about where this day
might be heading
and later that evening
a gibbous moon
stoops down
to drink from this water
admiring its complexion
and wondering
what to do
with this silence
