in this part of the molding Han
starting to smell like a musty old mop
recent stones reveal covered lines of dampness
egrets take advantage of low pools
waters slowly and quietly zig-zagging downstream
across it a dog may walk without wetting paws
regrowth weeds and wildflowers on shores
back-hoed away only two months before
the river pauses
awaiting the typhoon
the air above it sucked skyward
into the future vortex
bicycle tubes turn mushy
as air pressure drops
the sun stinging the back of my neck
and perspiration evaporates with haze
the days soon become dizzy with wind
the rain, torrential, covering all
but for now
egrets enjoy a free river meal
off the bumpy Han tablecloth
