(written on a rock in the river on the first day of Summer)

Blue & green & water reflecting the sunlight above.
The surface of the river placid & smooth.
A duck & five ducklings paddle past en route from here to there.
The air hot &still.
A white butterfly flits about in the long green grass at the river's edge.
The white butterfly visits the yellow buttercup.
The orange feet of an upside down duck makes a splash of colour in the dark river water.
Whistling above, besides, behind, beyond.
Fluff and the river flow by in the same lazy direction.
The river wrapped around my right foot, water cool then cold.
