Acadia

by Robert Carr  

On the lichen-freckled slab
of a great rock in Acadia

I think -
not much happens here.

Words come at me

like handfuls of low bush blueberries

that miss an open mouth.
I sit between my stanzas

and a stack of piled flat stones.
I skim, one by one

toward my reflection
in the bowl of a far off lake.
