In the lee of the stone – v2


in the middle, the current
yet slack at the margin
the eddies, the turning
in the lee of the stone
a deep cool pool, tranquil
under the oak branches
the meander, languid
slow-moving waters
an ancient trout lurking
in the murky deep
in the lee of the stone, comfort
a respite, a slowing
memory of summer
decades ago.
