Underneath a crooked weeping willow At the waters edge, near reedy shallows She reads her storybooks and paints rhymes Tree climbs And high spring tides that currents rush Wash the muddy banks and brush Fast by the river Proud tribes line the silty banks, modern skyline In my mind a faint outline from distant time And with Devils Club nets outstretched, fist-clenched Strain the milky channel for salmon, crows call Warm nights whisper, soft cherry petals fall Fast by the river Tugboats signal open the bridge, we shiver Rush traffic halts before spanning the sleepy river Rain clouds gather ‘round clustered hill tops, stinging drops The barges wake sparkles and sun reappears Touching the city scars to melt the grey tears Fast by the river

Empty hours, warning shot acid showers Black-face power lines wrapped in English ivy Burned umbra viscous 3-D moon beam Stained hands, snipped shrubs, crew-cut Urbanite intrigue How could you forget It wasn’t only my undoing, friend Laughing off the cuff at these mistakes About to take – as of late Make a shadow to smash this ceiling Broken glass welcome mat, snake-skin mask Twenty time goodbye in two minutes flat Hollow gourd heart, vacant end full start Overflowed river trance, feverish cold showere Fear of negative Yes, came here from out of nowhere For the connection, lover No expiration date ever set As of yet – no regret
