PEGI EYERS


Picture

There are few empty ponds
in the wilderness.
Some are beside roads,
busy roads.
 
Canada geese are circling high
above treetops,
above castle spires,
above rural routes
that lead back to the city.
 
One world holds us all.
One fragmented world.
At the heart of ponds
and tucked into corners where woodlands meet,
beats the source of life
precarious yet fecund.
 
There are banks of spring-thawed clay
on the shores of ponds,
marked by tracks,
(shrinking tracks)
or a pointed stick
spelling safety
and picnics in the summer.
