Genesis
Fifth Day God knows what lives in Heaven’s Mirror Creek brown with silt and duck dirt but fish still propel themselves up out of it for mayflies gnats wings a provocation And the green heron found only here fishes with its long long beak in the still air still brown creek While several states away a slow slow storm reenacts the Flood and fish find themselves on streets birds stunned in nests of omelette shoppe detritus the beginning the fifth day (loving? hungry? provoked?) pulls the end back inside itself.
