losing pressure
these clouds
molotov wicks
drowning
in drowning
as tugs race through

an unexpected Sunday: no ambition for chores
but instead: a family lunch, a bit of shopping, cooking shows, moving books,

of falling river levels
watching the water for signs

for receeding water
as driftwood
and other forgotten continents
