The Thaw


Damme, is that a fence across the stream?

Beavered, perhaps, but, damme, it looks stout.

I shall be released some day, the big fish says,

But not to me. No ear for gospel, moi;

It’s something of a logjam where I sing,

Up there along the snowfall. A new growl

Foretells the coming breakup. There’s a line,

Current events, I guess, I shall not use,

But if I did, what I would catch would fit

The coming morning I have prophesied,

But will not live to see. If you should, do.
