Needles of streams form
rivers;
moving water
the substance of
spare parts
a sliding territory under
moon and sun.
It’s design is a
creative covering of
millennial cooperation with
pathways to the ocean;
a friendship of ancient
land and rock.
In season it can become
a crown of betrayal
connecting briefly
with the brothers
chaos and mayhem.
Its casual theft
is an appetite served.
In time forgiveness
is granted.
