Silver Laboratory Creek

In the wash
Keeping watch

Through gibbously affected humid sylvans, the bridge swung out
At night, luminous beetles revealed water wells

Melded with the stars
Through the self-engrossed reflection
Of the silver laboratory creek

Chain-link extends through, and goes beyond, motioning prairies
Encompassing scattered arboretums and disbanded sanctums

Follows it over buried pipelines
And the rustic remnants of the stripped, mauve hillsides
Of the posterized, detaining eagles

Follows it on to the speckled marsh
Vigorous, sequestered hickory harbor cliff-line

That scope upon which
Flickers with dramatic tone

Followed the bull
That idled on their opposite side of the lake
On a walk up the road
