Crossing



Crossing 

they say what you can't change you ought to embrace:
the river's run takes it into the sea,
its waters grow murky with reverse.
they say what you can't change you ought to embrace -
dissipating itself in a delta of loess,
a verdant swath marks where it disagreed.
they say what you can't change you ought to embrace,
the river's run takes it into the sea.
