for Rebecca, Russ

Mark, Danielle & Eric...
I
Permanent bodies
varying degrees in spring
separated days
II
A protective shell
incubated by the sun
nest and hatch the young
III
Humus or sawdust
a crevice in a steep bank
deep water cover
IV
Spots fading with age
bluish black carapaces
nearly escaping
V
Become inactive
bask on mats of tufted grass
soak up streaming rays
VI
Hibernation dig
murky bottom shallow flat
meandering...creek
