Next to the backyard pond, a new deck,
wide boards of eastern oregon yellow pine
smooth and clear, nothing wiggles or creaks
The owner remarks of the number of screws
Next he speaks of the future and impending decay
Meanwhile the water continues to fall over the rocks
Manatee sized koi drink the oxgen rich solution
and the turtles sit still, just soaking it in, just being
Daily Small Stones for the River of Stones Project
