picnic at the lake

we find
on the path the white
stones
of bones.
a skull.
a wolf perhaps.
a fox.
no blood, or ravaged
skin,
but teeth
intact.
something has died
here,
along the way
to the lake
where we'll open
our sandwiches
and eat,
drink our lemonade
and tell
each other how
beautiful
it all is.
