Smooth river


Smooth river
Smooth the spill
Way- crumbled

Smooth the sound
Slipping
Rock-ridden
The last spring
Strewn
With sycamore scabs
And bud clung arms
Spearing wet
Dusty fingers

A void
Gapes under
March
Water shed

Smooth the curl
To sing this bath
A mothered leaf
Will be
Eddy held

The light -broken sun
Is diamond split
In riffs and seams
This bending neck
Is loosed of veins
Folds
Of marble strain

Flow this wearing mantle

Hear
(You are fixed)
For here
(You are spoken for)
