Muggy day here in Chicago. Summer has finally found the backyard.
Lazy River Turned Violent
Reef between ship and shore, hours in the day
indifferent, bloated and yellow with well wishes.
Thrash a while and the eels come,
where once was silence only their song
cuts the waves. Still your limbs and
listen to their feasting celebration,
free your lungs to sing poseidon's praises.
Not every verse receives applause beneath the waves.
