CROSSING

bite off a piece of sorrow to make snakes and dragons

flirt

to coax
each other across

the splendid river distinguished by the afternoon’s southeasterly winds

The more I read this the more clear the absolute beauty of this poem is.

Splendid.

I have to agree on Alison,
makes more sense as you read one.
Nice work.
