JANE'S GUESTHOUSE

the river is speaking
overunder Chinese soap opera
supporting this dull light
that sways with
mountain breeze

how do these buildings stay upright?
sag slouching against rock
rough hewn working cuticles

happy dirty cat rubs my legs and
the woman with the crinkle nose smile
moves dishes in a second level kitchen
treehouseish desserty
at the mouth of a gorge soon to be flooded
Green Blue Water
Run
Free
