In Estuary

​Pandora's Collective Poetry Contest (2020)
3rd Place Winner

In Estuary

Fingers splayed in starburst
A handful of broken sky
         bleeds through my fingertips

The Fraser    framed by deer tracks
Banks a collection of minutae
Her silvercalm melds
     with current’s rise
     as soaring eagles sound above

Sphagnum moss warms the stone
     smooth to the touch
     wakened by an early spring.

A certain quickening     alive in estuary
                 falls into light
Shadows play with memory
     like a torn snapshot
     frayed by frequency

My step falters     legs weaken

I fall on the edge
     of a borderland

remembering
what was once forgotten.
