The path from our cabin
goes down shore through birch,
bird, and bug, to a thin beach
where tadpoles peck toes.
A bank of limestone and quartz
cradles the cove, smoothed by water
and soft on the feet.
There is a small wooden sauna
where rock converges with earth,
and the coals from last nights steam
still smoke in the stove.
A hammock sways over sand
in treeline shade.
