This poem was inspired by an image posted by Paul Militaru, which he has kindly allowed me to use.
Sunlight splinters the skin
The membrane of water
That keeps energy in
Allows pebbles to skim
And light to ricochet
Blazing a dazzling way
Across ripples and waves
To the edge of the lake
Or even the horizon
Into January
