By the side of the road I travel
a bit of wilderness, wildness,
a swamp contained but present
by the city, the urban sprawl.
A man-made pond behind them,
encroached on the right and left,
a ribbon of sidewalk before these wetlands
a road that I travel to work and back home again
connecting to the main road.
Water birds are so often present, fishing these waters,
sometimes watching the contractors near them
bringing people, housing, ever closer,
but the deer still walk this road each night.
