“She knew the grammar of least motion.”
—Theodore Roethke, from “The Dream”
These curling waters won’t freeze
even when a spillway channel
halts in its purpose. It’s a long way
to the bayou
from here. Dark chocolate
could almost fuel us
on this journey
to a mouth with many tongues—a roof
all but blown away.
I like it! The last line is really wonderful.
