River was just river 

When we met 

river was just river 

a word you could tarnish dirty 

lazy, low


You could polish it too 

poetic, glorious 

so manly


but River took a stand


as the glorious tarnish-er 

the anti polish-er

a terror

 

and so it began

the running, the rivering 

the massacres

the corrosion of names


knife was dull 

mountain spent 


creatures leapt upside down

Regenbogen faded 


underwater warriors

elbows ahead 

spears holding up their chins

serpents as dress 

made their way between the legged river

spawning ancient, ancient evil birds

all manners of catastrophe


In the papers: the mother of all floods

an image of a floating car
