few clues today in the river /
even film over the eye has a tidal pull /
refracting the definite outline of punctuation /
so the mark is missed and aim falls short of placing the period /
at an end that would move the planet /
and sear a line into the day’s horizon /
for generations to pause and take photos of proof /
that a river was punctured twice in the same place of sound and saying /
and the continent creaked for a second /
as the common day was pulled away /
from scouring the streets under its course
