Gone with the flow

the island is sinking,
we hold ancestors above our heads,
there's no breathing about it
but who wants to give up
when it's everything
---
the whole town washed away with the river,
washed clean
for a day

what of the silt –
all that dirt dredged up
when we thought it was buried for all time
