Duck

Duck

A Poem by Michael Oliver
"

While walking to work, I every day cross a bridge over one of the rivers of the town, the other day I noticed a duck ear one of the banks - apparently sleeping.

"
A still is silent 
Shape suspended -between 
pebble - water - air 
sunshine and shadow 
The drake parades
Grey - dark purple
Round - oval - is 
A drake asleep
Sheen of water 
flows broken past 
Reflections - Light - Thought
Never the same 
Is silent as still 
The eye is held 
The mind inquires
A shape resolved 
between 
Pebble - Water - Air
