I saw her come to the water's edge
and slip away, down where 
the backswimmers scull
until she rose once again
and there a ripple and her
upturned nose and flagging tail 
side to side and the slick 
of her fine shape well suited 
for rushes and tule,
flaunting it all for such tributes
until the wet slide of her mahogany back
when I asked about muskrat love
