Nocturnes: Delivery, Not Deliverance, 3

The river, like their lives, will run its course

quickly.  And if they can survive such force

and all of its obstructions without breaking

upon them, they will be ours for the taking . . .

here . . . at the delta . . . when their plans go south.

Our thirst and hunger will, at last, find slaking,

as each of us presents a pretty mouth.
