From a distance all is calm
at this stretch of the Hughes River.
Flat water by the far bank
reflects specks of sky shimmered
through dark bars of tree trunks.
Roots grasp the river’s edge
by the abandoned church
as branches reach across ripples
bubbled by submerged stones.
A dry leaf zig zags down, rocks
like a silent metronome, breaks
mirrored water.
