From the series: "At the pool" - a photo on Flickriver

            
AT THE POOL
Happiness was a day at a pool
in the grass ringed round
with trees up to the sky

here I was god’s and my
grandpa’s lad – both died,
happiness is dangerous

in the evening the pool has lain down
so mirror-smooth that sky, trees and grass
repeat themselves below the ground

fear and longing both ask me
to come back
