let it break more
completely before
everything and anything
is done and all
the stops pulled
last resort booked
the boats all launched
the beaches swept clean
out into the sea
back again we go
what it is that
the rocks say about
the river that sat
once high above
now downhill
running on
among and below
a weight off
flimsy and soaking
prone to breaking
in white frothing
from the mouth
and all along
of course
