Thinkable Weather
Here’s one for the unsteady—Your
rivers will dry up, you will get
new rivers
The Empty Plate, The Eumenides,
The by the rivers of
being children
they will ask why the former rivers
failed, like you have time to field
questions—First
all the strand fish counted up, please
ready your thankless task
An officer and a priest at the door
The preservationist’s widow
lifts the Geiger counter
sets it in the sun where little citizens
designate the place to play—Always
in the sun and while we’re
here together herewith sunlight
is purposed for the geese
and the general renascence
of that big flow south
where the high traffic historical sky
melted Second Temple Glacier
way down the water table
Now remember say, a tablecloth fringing
or a light gale and the water
was blinking
said the tiny nobles
in their long echoing halls

new rivers
