Astern

by

more than 10,000
low and muddy tides
she stands astern. still

Wandering the river banks today and I stand and wonder how many low tides have exposed her bottom to a pitiless public? Who is she? And why did she stay?
Sharing stories of real people, everyday magic, and the places I held my breath as a child.
