Vast

The wide channels of the Salt Springs estuary
kayak side swipes clumps of mangroves
ash brown and gray, hunter green, teal, chartreuse
halted in sea grass shallows

an orange dragonfly with transparent wings
casts a shadow on a white paddle blade
against a distant, edge of the world
Gulf of Mexico horizon line
