On either side,
punctured
shores
urge colder, colder.
Warmer water
refuses,
slipping
under the quick quake
submergence
of
crusts,
shouts
past
frozen
ledges,
unbroken.
boil pale,
resist
linear impulses,
stagger through
swag wash or
shrub carr.
Converging
channels
reach forward,
hover shelf ice,
disappear.
Below
thick
river
snow
a roar,
unquieted,
defiant.
