Ghost River

---

I’m mostly water.

There has been family swept under by raw currents.

I’m from planters by the river.

We dredged riverbed bones.

Water is faces lined blue.

Red horses bay bodies hooked from fish line.

And what was sown, brown hands dug free.

I’m mostly other people.

Family is pulled pail full from source.

I’m from river people.

We prep the light from matted hair.

Water catches flame.

The black horses hoof rock, halving them like thin, infant skulls.

And what was sown, brown hands dug free.
