The Treasure Inside
gray morning—
clouds cover the lake
in mother-of-pearl
betty
where the fisherman sat
shining scales in the grass
max
shucking oysters
who will find
the treasure inside
betty
year after year
her sequined blouse
on a hanger
max
an unopened hope chest
holds the engagement ring
betty
sunset—
the ditch filled to the brim
with evening glow
