White Water-Lily Poem by Mark Heathcote

White Water-Lily



I couldn't evade sleeping beneath the moon
watching her surface petals awake into bloom
white with a pinkish tinge in circular floating.

I, an orange-gold koi carp, came nudging, kissing
arms dark green leaves wrapped around her-
lily-white face, setting like the sun burning, myrrh.
