Poem in Water
by Mary Langer Thompson
By Lingering Lake
I watch a Chinese poet
with sweeping brush strokes
write characters
in water
upon the pavement.
Disciples follow in silence
under the willow trees
reading retextured liquid,
the path an impermanent context.
I can't decipher the message
of this groundling poem,
but feel unmoored
then embraced, bent and baptized,
evaporating verse
washing the dust from my heart.
