my dark river speaks (an ekphrasis piece inspired by the Columbia River Shadows photogram series)





river dark  
malevolent under 
not sun skins 
the cathedral 
rain cracked 
contaminated 
bottom ripped 
canvas fed  
womb drink 
who we are 
crawls past the roar 
captured & stabbed 
in our belly glow 
unbearably brushed 
by meadow sway 
wind stripped our swollen 
tears ring the rupture 
as if it was rapture
as all those satellites 
float just 
above the grime 

transmitting 
transmitting
