and the river shows the pale machinery of longing.
Water combs upward through black plastic bristles;
each rung shines like a thought the moon forgot.

a flock of reeds keeps the ledger of wind,
writing in green strokes that erase themselves,
an alphabet of passing water.

where the current tires,

The paper smells of wet stone and cedar
where the compass once learned to breathe.

At the bend, the river keeps a library of silt,
soft spines of mud shelved under willow shade,
each flood a page turned with wet fingers,
letters pressed from reed and rust.
