the pastel water
glides
shoring at penciled contours
breaking loose in rivulets of transparent light
that merge and fuse
red-tiled roofs throw
purple shadows
glints of white sunlight sparkle
where color, hushed,
bows before the purity of virgin paper
and yellow green fields stretch
to blue-brushed distant hills
