                BLACK RIVER
                I sometimes think
                that this black river,
                which flows through my city
                and so through my life,
                is like the ribbon
                on a typewriter.
                And when I cross over it
                my thoughts plunge deep into the cold water
                and rise up from beneath it,
                stamping them crisp 

                on the pale porcelain sky.
