The River

The dirt beach
hugs to the wake-ridden
river flow,
a strip of unearthly green
which laps at mud
and our wayward toes.


In its body
I know the 
long fish dwell
their silver sides
slithering and cold.


It is a beautiful 
mirror with no bottom,
no end I can see
and I sink down
because I can.


There in the silt
I breathe and my
body snakes away.
