roots are mirrorimages gnarledserpents
twiningtwisting underground they had
been blind and the blind follows paths of least resistant or the scent of nourishment of water its boughs and leaves harpies
human products
mattresses sheets
of plastic paper items bubblewrap homeless clothing washed throughwere hungup snagged that they were near the creek to be sweptaway appalled him they clottedclogged wedgedtight
between fallen trees snapped limbs were trapped by slides they dancedspastic in the surging
water it was teagreen filled with leafy

one had fished out a garment as

it dangled by a strap
a black bra sheerlace cup on top
by his practised estimate it would
have held better-than-average breasts though

he was a fan of black bras and white
blouses
found their combination suggestive titillatingly
slyly hinting
someone wasnt hinting any longer
