Perfection replicated
We set off walking cold and clear, all muffled,
scarves as masks
mid afternoon but little doubt the sun was dropping
inch by inch and lighting in its path the crests,
the snaggled teeth of giants turning peach to coral
then beaten copper glow- and lo!
The gorgeous spectacle, crepuscular
twilight's alpine glow.
And where the lake is curved we stopped to wonder
as it doubled, symmetry
for pinks were in the water, and aqua, navy blue
all along the rocky range, a panorama left to right
perfection, replicated.
