Climbing the River

Start from crack willows around the corner
then traverse to the left and up the slab of water.

Following flakes of white-dark shallows
jam feet and thighs into the flow.

Crux is - the bed can suck
or crumble. Watch out for ducks.

If the river lifts you, don't think to struggle -
layback into the slippery flood.
