Runic Fence
Biking past Cabarton Bridge I read
Fence posts written like crooked runes,
Strung across McGregor's meadows, sunk
In Payette River’s smooth slough waters.
The surface shivers with a rush of minnows
Scared up by the whirr of pedal and chain,
A heron mirrored there on one-legged stand
Two beaks stab at the same silver splinter.
