there's lakes here big enough to feel like oceans and the sunlight hits them just as hard-- rebounds into my eyes until I squint with every wave and they fling water upward in splayed white fingers it's like laughter heaved at the shoulders of the world and rocks forget me just as quickly, they cool so soon after I stand and they sneak the moon out of their bed just as guiltily it skulks up in the dark between the trees weaves excuses for its other lovers out of shadows and monsters live in them
