Uncoupling

Uncoupling 

And here they are. Ice white.

The canal buzzed with evolution.

An afternoon in astounding heat.

They entwine for life, these couples.

Will curse the less for that right.

The flights of love, the comic landings.

I still mourn that loneliest swan.

Up over the hill, searching for him. 

Feathering reeds. An unwritten eulogy.
