Pampas grass
marsh mud glistens
in the rowboat
salt marsh
sunlight flecks the egret
marsh wren's cry
the sun ripples onto the mud
wetland chill
a patch of ripples disappears
marsh lightning
the tree's blossoms open
into egrets
marsh bubbles surface on the twilight
wetland channel
the moon spreads onto the grass
