Like
a pond
that can't be separated
from
its shores,
poets
of flow
and reflection
ascend
the way
light
suffuses
through deep waters.
Along comes Orpheus
in faded jeans,
a flannel
shirt,
down-filled jacket, and
fisherman's
boots.
A floppy hat hides
his florescent eyes.
Plugged
into a tree, his
electric guitar's
108 strings
each play an original chord,
while
the
pond waves to the altitude
of
the muse's
empyrean riffs.
