#1012 - a street goes by (river thinking)

 

14.x.22

1012

3.286

a street goes by

 

and watch

the cannon flow traffic

each way

neither must surrender

 

wash off the city

run out of map

 

this is river thinking

 

the day fills up

and a street goes by

 

winter the river then

and the shoes

 

and down and down

with the bones lie still

 

palinka!

 

share the bottle now

blue sunshine

 

and a street goes by

 

rise in a lock

wobble close to the wall

 

birds in the wake

 

occasional fish stir

 

lamp posts now

river dim along

 

in the water

ink the sky

 

towns of the night

go namelessly

as those who were lost

 

things pass

we could

 

in all the river dark

moon goes

 

the while we slept

and where we lie

 

it’s true that we must pass beyond

 

birch stretches and beach

as if time never touched

 

good to be awake for this

 

magic dawn

and a street goes by
