Jordan Lake...boon when built, yet caused woes—
Swamped homesteads, woods and lush meadows
Once home to New Hope River flows.
Give ear to said muddled echoes.

Shoreline tree skeletons with exposed roots, normally awash in wind-driven waves and boat wakes, keep silent vigil over ambivalent secrets concealed in innocent masquerade by placid lake waters.
Ambivalent Phantoms
