Okauchee

The
Blue Jays
woke us
at dawn
with their
jeering.
Calling to the cottage
from
weeping willows
whose roots
reached as far into the lake
as onto the land.
The water was
cool green
at its best
and gray-black at its worst.
Okauchee.
Nothing else
mattered.
Not
tangling weeds
floating fish
sinking rafts.
Okauchee.
It was all we ever knew
or
wanted
of summer.
At dusk we piled into the attic.
Strewed across
mattresses
no longer wanted
at home
we listened to
the bats
chatter
as it lulled us
to
sleep.
