16.

the family of ducks have laid siege to the wharf
we are all here kicking mad under the water:
necessary adaptations under the new regime

17.

today will I caste my luck onto the waters?

18.

the river is a gambler, what a bluffer!
we walk the staging back and forth,
dry land to floating steel
play the hand dealt us

19.

today: fire and falling waters after another night of rain

the heart will not be doused silent forever
