An eloquent metallic name for a northern river courses through tundra... exposed gentle escarpments orangy glint through the water's surface a source still said to be free of hasdarous waste 800 people live at the river's mouth, near ice floes who've only known the distilled taste that flows from miles away... but the law of land is still governed from even further...by decision makers and advantage takers who turn their taps on clorine affected editions.. A continued upset of other water traditions now on my dismal list of latest predictions.... you see all you have to do is listen to the news that calls for studies on how not to disturb the tendency to destroy continues to perturb... a continued tendency on how to be shrewd... underestimate ecosystems for renewed exploration There is a way to end lives as one effects a water's oxygen level cut prematurely short by chemicals that promotes the growth of algae, that kills the fish, that ruins countless more livelihoods and ruins the homesteads on distant river shores... pollution would be the price of progress galore!

This a lovely eloquent discourse on humans and nature. I love the title; its what first drew me in. The rest of the poem sealed the deal. |
