Imperturbable. Inflated, like a flotation device.

A head end and a tail end, but a

Certain amount of discretion, like a tortoise.

But dead. Under the willows a carcass.

Purposefully downstream, like a blond in the twenties.

Mahogany dead.

Laced football dead.

Brylcreem and sideburns dead.

Dead and gone.

Valais

A working river, a working valley,

The grey-green Rhône

Lined with workings, heaps of dust, gravel, cement

And log-jams waiting for transport,

Like the island exporting itself to its neighbours one barge at a time.
