Water Divination for Beginners
brown water churns under the iron bridge at the edge of town, muddy
and unaccountable: a fish mouth gapes: a greasy slick flashes rainbowthis river’s man-channeled, trapped between sparse banks, between
smeared brick walls: the churn’s a creature, febrile in captivitystick people pause on the bridge and look down: they see themselves
reflected in each tangle of branches, in each floating huddle of trashunder the bridge, a faceless child stands on a narrow ledge: a life-
raft drifts by, oarless: echoes of persistent rain: a fiery sky, deflectedthe child squats, froglike, reaching: their fingers drift through rainbow
trash until one hooked finger finds the gaping fish, hauls it on land.
