riverboat chorale

i pulled the leaks clean out that white fleece hovering
thrown the reeds clean mounds in the dried grass covering


sew them good
sew them good mind the greens


larks bringing clouds to the fulled
mouth of tennessee
deleware river the catskills
full-send forever seeds

sew them good
sew them far south roxbury

let my girl go proud let her go in the spring
when the ferns come on 

innertubers laughing in the breeze

where the distant dawn drove dires and fauns
wild streets beckoning

miracles
singing rounds sweet st louis
