On the Roadside beneath the Mountains



On the roadside beneath the mountains,
a stagnant pool in a ditch, starry green
with algal profusion, dark as profound
thoughts, almost unseen in its humility,

was a Lilliputian’s Loch Lomond or
Loch Ness with unimaginable life-forms;
it stole the prize for the day’s most beautiful,
like a sliver stolen from Monet’s garden.
