Written at 7:30 a.m. at the campground, when I went down in the haze to have a quiet swim by myself.
Morning at Perfect Bay

Silence hangs over the lake

in a heavy haze of heat.

The rocky bottom of the

quiet water sharply

greets my tender feet.

Looming suddenly above the trees

a colorful, joyful bloom:

The soft sh-sh-sh of its burner

breaking the mysterious hush

as it glides; a majestic balloon.
