                 Dusk
               above the
           water hang the
                     loud
                    flies
                    Here
                   O so
                  gray
                 then
                what            A pale signal will appear
               when        Soon before its shadow fades
              where      Here in this pool of opened eye
             in us     No upon us As at the very edges
              of where we take shape in the dark air
               This object bares its image awakening
                 ripples of recognition that will
                    brush darkness up into light
 even after this bird this hour both drift byatop the perfect
 sad instant now     already passing out of sight
                  toward yet-untroubled reflection
                this image bares its object darkening
               into memorial shades scattered bits of
             light      No of water Or something across
             water        Breaking up no being regathered
              soon          Yet by then a swan will have
               gone              yes out of mind into what
                vast
                 pale
                  hush
                   of a
                   place
                    past
          sudden dark as
              if a swan
                 sang

That's a great one, Veronica. Now I am really going to have to take the
time to make it look good. *S*
