Love instantiates. Twain souls
set out: governed by gravity
sliding scraping muscling through<\/p>\n\n\n\n
perilous rapids churning white
bending through forests and fields
beneath the bridges of twelve towns<\/p>\n\n\n\n
gaining girth and losing speed
adding a tinge of toxic sludge
to a whispering flood a mile wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From glacial melt to delta salt,
this is who we are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
