web-footed dark brown beaver

web-footed
dark brown
beaver

braves those currents of
a recent-born creek having
chosen the least

resistant though stream
indifferent rushes past her in
restless search of

another waterway
larger then another yet
another until

a vast community
finds its course at last to the
globe-embracing sea ...

and once there to
stagnate stultify to fester
to discharge the smell

of choking grease and
too of a terrible dying
