@¶¤£%/-~.. On Maps, I Could Not Think Of It When ..~-/%£¤¶@
#@¶¤£%/-~. Alone. I Would Often Travel Past The .~-/%£¤¶@#

@¶¤£%/-~.. The Lake, But Ten Meters High And ..~-/%£¤¶@
#@¶¤£%/-~. Adorned In Birch, Willow, Bracken, And .~-/%£¤¶@#

@¶¤£%/-~.. Should Be Shores, Of Course, But I ..~-/%£¤¶@
#@¶¤£%/-~. Didn'T Recognize Them. First Off, They .~-/%£¤¶@#
@¶¤£%/-~.. Were Much Too Close, As The Lake Should ..~-/%£¤¶@
#@¶¤£%/-~. Stretch For A Hundred Meters More On .~-/%£¤¶@#
@¶¤£%/-~.. Both Sides. But Now I Felt I Could ..~-/%£¤¶@
#@¶¤£%/-~. Almost Reach Out And Touch Them. And .~-/%£¤¶@#
@¶¤£%/-~.. Then, When I Realized Which Shores They ..~-/%£¤¶@
#@¶¤£%/-~. Were, I Had To Stop. .~-/%£¤¶@#
@¶¤£%/-~.. ..~-/%£¤¶@
#@¶¤£%/-~. They Were Of The Right Lake. But This .~-/%£¤¶@#
@¶¤£%/-~.. Lake Is Large, Fractured, And ..~-/%£¤¶@
#@¶¤£%/-~. Bipartite. Like A Pair Of Lungs Carved .~-/%£¤¶@#
@¶¤£%/-~.. Into The Granite, And With No Less Than ..~-/%£¤¶@
#@¶¤£%/-~. Five Communities Anchored At Various .~-/%£¤¶@#
@¶¤£%/-~.. Points. And So, Studying These ..~-/%£¤¶@
#@¶¤£%/-~. Impossibly Close Shores, I Slowly .~-/%£¤¶@#
@¶¤£%/-~.. Understood Them As Belonging Many Miles ..~-/%£¤¶@

@¶¤£%/-~.. Carrying Forward, On The Very Tip Of ..~-/%£¤¶@
