this now is my driftwood:


the stay-put roots, legs

of them that's been

twisted, suspended above

the lowering level of the river-

fed pond. What's gone blond.

what's gone common

gray and water that's new

enough to such bare oracle 

roots it not only falls down

in awe but looks up in awe

at the blackening under-

neath (what's hid from me)

but keeps me leaning 

into my knees between

the pinching splinter

in the rail, insisting,


embedding.
