Before Hurrying On Poem by Daniel Brick

Before Hurrying On

Rating: ★5.0


Along the lake's edge, pale reeds lie broken.
Ducks disturb the surface: they spell
their message with a single letter,
forever vanishing, forever reappearing.

Red-winged blackbirds cluster overhead:
one giant wing glides through deep sky.
Two children patiently fish in Mud Lake.
Then we embrace before hurrying on.
