IN AN ECHOING RATTLE
In *n echoing rattle of thirsty frogs the vista of a sharp-etched dream sleeps a baby through thunder: a moonlit swamp that is my home and passage with this another boat stuck in it. But th frogs chant of returning rivers, after the rain, after th flood. Into what sea will they release by boats?
