Caught in the eruption,

Of a river bursting its banks, are seeds.

On a typical visit to this weir, this is not someting I would expect.

With Long’s Waterfall Line in mind,

I begin to notice the chaotic energy at the meeting of elements.


Opportunities for germination have been withdrawn.

Sprayed in excess, the dormant,

external,
embryonic cuttings hang lifelessly.

are seeds.

Gushing faster now,

the contained flood will continue on its course

slightly more diverted than was intended.
