And now the river in spate | endless turgid brownness
lugging flood-washed debris | a cargo of deadwood and spilth
slopped out foam | of dis-care
I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each*
I do not think that they will now sing to me
no viral boundaries | this skin
this tin can | leaks like a sieve.
*TS Eliot Love song of JR Prufrock
