Canoe
Back straight
Reflection in the water
Canoe
Curved back
The sky in your eyes
Canoe
Straight ahead
The mystery prow
Lean one way, now another
Yellow spatterdock, white water-lily
Yellow water-lily, American lotus
Nuphar advena, Nymphaea odorata,
Nymphaea mexicana, Nelumbo lutea
Floating, a blossom
On the surface, the sky
Curve back, straight ahead
Lean one way, now another
Advena, odorata, mexicana, lutea.
Nuphar, Nelumbo,
Nymphaea,
Nymphaea.
