Trinity Herr

TOPOGRAPHY

pluck crawfish from craters with naked fingers, tango
bare legged through nettle groves, welt
in the strange topography of ripening, reroute
familiar planes from mirror to map the way a river does
with each revolutionary swelling, surging 
into cramped beds, cut
through what we thought was rock.
