| Staying with the Mississippi by Stephen Masimilla |
In this riptide of schooling leaves,
Bone wall dissolves into a great broken vapor-
Wheel inter-
Cut by an overturned cone of light:
Snowy egrets unflock, loosen wide
Above the cycling mutter, abandon the last sluicing press
Of rock to shine on the eyes of the deep, ride up
And return to the night.
In a moth-fire tide of fliers,
Lunatic newsprint, generations have navigated space
In priceless obedience, drawn down-
Stream to the cool heel of this bridge
Where they still stand to cross and get on
With it, maybe not getting this right.
Maybe not, and where everyone crossed, I did. But
You sought the river.
