Hiatus

As the long grey knobbly shape
Slips below the green water wake

The air is filled with a misty blow
As first hump then bump disturb the flow

Its great trillium-shaped banner suddenly flies
And rises up, and salutes the sky

Then slowly, sinks, beneath the surface
Pursuing that behemoth’s lonely purpose

Aeons and miles, down deep and far away
Is, for now, where she will stay

To live a different sort of life

On hiatus
