standing above the water

 

 

query

 

No one sees the old quarry

   as darkness flees,

it’s there, it’s silent,

it doesn’t move,

may be a buzz

   or twitter,

or one leaf falling,

the pond is still…

 

One man, solitary,

stands above the water,

urging his arms

   into the air,

with some bending,

it seems like his routine,

 

does he care

   that I see him?
