a.
Water carrying bundles of light, solar muscles
There’s an engine in the water like an Indian motorcycle
River’s chains, tight for timing
Sowing banks with proper planting
The path, the math, river walking, counting
To so much as one
Working the thinking river
A mechanic or editor, a rider a reader

Otter and
Po

b.
Dog, Indian, drought sun gauge
When the rain breaks down, and how turning it turns into itself
How it pays itself a ransom to gravity
As a young man he is interiority
Organizing itself by natural permission
Like the drive in a structural river
A marriage of becoming; wedding
Of intention and intuition coming out as courage

c.
Finishing a sentence for the river
Reader-reacher
Weather is made like a day
Backhoe, diversion, a load of gravel, a berm,
Healing the river’s term
A thinking man’s way
Bridge Scour Analysis; Floodplain Delineation
Hydrographic survey; channel investigation
Sediment transport, geomorphology
Watershed science, open channel hydraulics
Tug Fork
Little Piney
Yeocomico and
Cameron Run
River river river river river
d.
Can look down the weather
It will be a dry spring through summer,
Cycling drought,
A ransom heavy as machine
Work the divisor
A mechanic or editor, a rider a reader
His hand into the words, the works of the water
River’s chains, tight for timing
Sowing banks with proper planting
The path, the math, river walking, counting
To so much as one

The river
Is Easter
