On the Canal

 

In the dim light of a December evening

swans, bright as lit matches, are gliding

over the streaming oarweed of traffic lights

on their way to Harold’s Cross Bridge.


Ghostly on winter’s glass,

oblivious to the world’s commotion,

passing without trace, blind to their own beauty

and all the more beautiful for that.
