An old pond dreams
it's dancing
with a full
moon floating in its
arms.
Gliding over
its glowing skin a
swan
"sings its capacity as desire"—
Swanee,
how I love you, how I
love you, my dear old Swanee.
Walking
on
autumn's colors
past
a
hollowed-out tree, we are
born
and die
like
a longboat
sailing on
turbulent waters,
in which every
stroke incubates its succession—
even
though my mammy's
waiting for me,
praying for
me
down by the Swanee.
