5261. LUMBERMAN PEE-POST

LUMBERMAN PEE-POST
In watching the Delaware River fade I grow
bored with a rash of respect. Roll on, river, 
roll on. Is this, what, Washington's Crossing, 
Yardley, one of the eerie place hugging the 
coast of doom  -  where people died and buried 
themselves or were buried by others : men 
with lances in their chests, soldiers filled with 
lead and shot. The water rolled then, and the
water rolls now. Fade not, oh river, fade not.
