Charles D. Tarlton
Chester Crossing
He had no cohort and was now alone
into the bargain, with his own dark musings,
and so thirsty to be heard.
Things, and the things done on each
slow crossing (fighting
how the river wants to pull us down to sea),
and he was still alone on the river
CROSSING,
but always sliding down.
