Secret Place 1999

We know a secret place
beside a fall of water
where stickleback
shapes and shadows flick

on stepping stones
we sit and did our toes
flick
dip
Neon shift of cadis fly
and ruby blaze
attract the eye
dart
dip
a way upstream
a lake be dammed
and goldfish fat as
piglets found
dart
flick
but here
the delicate sticklebacks
remain
dip
flick
a clue to where
is in my name
