"if heaven has a creek"* - and we don't have to
agree on anything. and it all spins out of control
agree on anything. and it all spins out of control
then it makes sense that heaven has a creek where
we can fall into and not drown. rest but not stay
it isn't the ocean where the moon i am told is
bigger than the earth & there is no fear of sharks
or stagnant water - it all goes somewhere perhaps
into the mighty mississippi or a rapid in colorado
or a spring in comal: perhaps it runs to the river
i was born at: where i learned to walk and collect
glass or the river siddhartha sat discovering each
moment the river he knew was no longer his - i
hear trees are planted now in india to keep the dirt
perhaps i'll go there - plant a tree or two and name
each to keep the earth still: still enough we agree
