DUCK TAILS

 

Bottoms up

Mallards in pond

Behind the Court of Appeals

 

Head first

Upside down

Orange webbed legs paddle

 

Duck eyes

Peering through algae

Beaks nibbling submarine morsels

 

Concentric waves

Surround their backsides

Viewed through branches of Rose Mallow

 

Bottoms down

Heads up for air

This is your Nature and mine
