Elverlution Midnight. Garden. Hush! Teardrop patch of dewy grass: Six small dragon fish Waffle over stone Bridge from their salt lick prison, Sail across the green Sea of wet earth clods. Inch worm gait with slicked back scales. Fly! fish in the night. 2 a.m. The pond. Liquid fresh, the water clear in Moon mirror, recounts As three by three slim, Inky, rollick-motion shades Tread pebble-jolted Ground of bruising damp. Destination home at last. Fly! fish land from flight.
