Cement pylons root thick in the patchy mud
where over time the steady current pulls silt
beyond the murky bend; the columns are weakening.
Do you understand what I'm trying to say
about us?

I like the twist in the end of this poem - it was ell set up with only a few words to work with
the imagery was well constructed and I liked the atmosphere that you have created with this piece.
Thank you for entering
