\non an empty lake: white
\nbut for the lake. Blue
\nbut for the swan.
\nWinter will set in
\nfrom the
\nleftmost
\ncorner of the lake.
\nEagle swan.
\nI can no longer
\ntell bird from bird.
\nWhen winter sets in,
\nthe swan will be trapped
\nleft foot down.
\nThings will change. Moss
\nunder snow. Earth
\nunder moss. A scuba diver
\nwould be trapped underwater
\nif the lake were the sea.
\nLonely diver
\nwith the left foot
\nof the swan for company.
\nThe swan will fly. Bird
\nwill turn into bird.<\/p>\n
