divide & fall, two times & more
boats climb your bank for portage
conglomerate machinery straddles
your east flank, overlays of
concrete & steel, bolts, pipes
gear that powers towns
rippled glass pours down your brow
tumult below, boil & froth
spill across massive boulders
spiral through wide & narrower gaps
arcing above you a hiker’s bridge
chain-link toe & finger holds
to guide me up & over
a plunge if that day comes
