OVER AND OUT
crossing over the creek bed...

AGAIN


what the river of sound delivers

its barges passing through the night
beyond the reach of the searchlights

a freight of calm with warning spiders
glides easily over half a continent

ears or a safe dock or a stillness in the rush
gladly receives the harvest

a harbor with only two sounds

its population jumps

a suburb of silence engulfs the landing

from far away a flood has sent
the remains of what it smashed

scraps become housing a new life
enters the fractures and dislocated beams

see what scuttles to the safety of wreckage
