Parading

Down Sally Cow Lane and Elsewhere

I am swimming a narrow, swift river.

Upstream, the clpuds have already darkened
Upstream, the clouds have already darkened
Upstream, the clouds have already darkened
and deep blue holes I cannot see
and deep blue holes I cannot see
churn up under the smooth flat rocks.
churn up under the smooth flat rocks.
The Greeks have a word, /paropono,/
The Greeks have a word, paropono,
for the complaint without answer,
for the complaint without answer,
for how the heart labors, while
for how the heart labors, while
all the time our faces appear calm
all the time our faces appear calm
enough to float through in the moonlight. —Maggie Anderson
enough to float through in the moonlight.
