Perpetuity
8 April 2019, Minneapolis
The Monongahela
named by the Lenni Lenape
means place where banks cave in
Calving banks of wormy humus
An annuity of perpetuity
Bone fragments in rotting leaves
luminous constellations
perfunctory without end
Five and a half pounds
of crematorium ash swirling
down river. A time lapse
image of stars and planets
