The River
On the banks
The wash so brown
The shadows blue
They’re black
I saw the form
Astride the loam
Splayed out upon
Its back
A bear, a dog
A bed, a log
A child’s eyes
Are pure
Until the hands
Of the missing man
Were clear against
The dew
The river’s flow
A blackened bow
That tied around
Our town
Had sapped his life
Like a lantern’s light
Buried
Underground
