Of Current

Every where is a ceaseless center—
the black SWAT uniforms

(a series of centers colliding)
hustling like magnets through spring snow,

into perpetuity. Behind each ripple,
blood driving in circles—behind

the blood, loud drums: cars
pounding by on an overpass

with me waist-deep underneath.

(No walleyes to show for the morning—
cold as it is, the turbid river, its pulse.)

A high bridge in higher wind:
all of meaning up there going by.  end
