For the dverse prompt. A Fibonacci sequence poem.
Fish at the pool
The leaves are uncurling clenched green fingers, blossom
sheds warm white flakes snow-
quilting the pool,
where green
fish
swim,
deep in dark, limpid water, slow and heavy,
ancient as yesterday. Sun casts
light-shadows, dimpling
where insects
dip,
skim,
swallows swallowed in fish-maws rising to sky’s
depths. Blue or bough-black?
fish-eye lensed,
the sun
ripples,
aqueous.
