Black Mirror

 

The black mirror of this pond

appears even darker when

surrounded by winter's first snow.



A Belted Kingfisher drops

from a Black Willow branch;

plunges into ice-cold water,

shatters black reflections

of overhanging trees;

comes up empty.

Rattles away to a new site.


Reflections return.

Winter tightens its grip.

Wants to make white ice.
