Poetry Daily: Today's Poem-David Wagoner-How It Will Be
The current
Will darken and brighten, turn warm and cold,
Be suddenly filled with the strange dead
Or the even stranger living, will slow
Or quicken, burn or sweeten, turn salt
Or harden till all but its deepest bed stops moving
Or rises till it blunders over a wilderness
Of flowers and weeds, so broad it doesn't remember
How to be a river and then shrinks
