Where TheOhio and Mississippi Missouri Rivers Wed

WHERE THE OHIO WEDS THE MISSISSIPPI MISSOURI



Above works hard the tug boat

   It churns and puffs and floats

     and ruffles and foams the coats

       of these two great saints.



                 Below the longawaited mating

                   of two giants..

                              profoundly peaceful

                                        only here and there

                                               eddies of ecstasy

        betray the great confluence

                 as branch braids into trunk



                 Mississippi Missouri had surrendered to

  God

                 his desire for a wife..

                 knowing not that the Ohio

                 was waiting for

                 him

                 in the corridors of time..



                 not fireworks but waterweaving

                 in this most sacred silence
