Lake of the Woods

lake waves
break
ing on rocky shield shore
savours ear looking
out through trees at
sundrenched water

here through
ages of time dark
depths in
middle continent archipelago forest
life-teeming

and here I sit on
cottage deck connected to computer
boatsounds and planes
blanket nature

but I just have to
peek
underneath
to hear wavesbirdsleavesinbreeze
and become
the world that ice left behind

before borders and boats
made this summer world
for us to sing
         our jangly songs
