Uneven stone slabs form a path
to where a family of koi with coat
of red and white sequin lives,
with a ceramic frog that sits
on top of a chest where water falls
from four mini drawers.
And big weathered stones line
the borders of their home.
Hyacinths creep across the water
to shade and sheath.
And hairy leaves of dark green hornwort
exhale oxygen for fish and food.
A kingfisher flashes by to watch
the koi twist and tease.
And as it admires this living art,
it judges the depth of the water.
