Watching the old crawdad
float with currents
the huge claws reach out
The tail flickers weakly.
His armor grown pale.
2
Periwinkles crawl on rocks
Their sediment shells
drug behind them
Antenna sticking out
with legs until I scare them
and they hide in their home.
3
Water striders float at ease
willing to let currents
have their way with them.
4
Spirals made in still pools
the water snake
Swirls faster
as I follow behind it.
5
Scintillations of minnows
In the shallows depths
Escaping my looming form.
6
Wet and tired
I lie in the grass
next to the stream
letting the sun
dry my clothes
as eyes grow heavy
and I dream
what a young boy dreams
