The Cloudy Grime of Infant Streams

By lupus tenebrae

Puddles carve canyons through malleable
earth, their cloudy grime feeding
into infant streams: teasels,

jutting from the murk, sway and
snap under the wind's duress, whilst
bare thickets rustle in apology

and the slate-black of a poet's lead
transcribes them in secret.
