Wade the river. . .rocks or broken glass

Cut feet, let blood. . .

They pulled a floater out

Today—

They called him that, a floater—

I think

He came across on dream

Or maybe just remembering

The way his children scratched

For corn

The neighbor’s hens had missed.

This is wonderful, Leslie. Hate to take pleasure when the subject is so tragic, but the art with which you tell the story -- and economy -- are so admirable, I can't help it. B r a v a ~ !!!
