back to Carl Sandburg

“Potomac Town in February” by Carl Sandburg 🇺🇸 (6 Jan 187822 Jul 1967)
The bridge says:
Come across, try me; see how good I am.
The big rock in the river says:
Look at me; learn how to stand up.
The white water says:
I go on; around, under, over, I go on.
A kneeling, scraggly pine says:
I am here yet; they nearly got me last year.
A sliver of moon slides by on a high wind calling:
I know why; I’ll see you to-morrow;
I’ll tell you everything to-morrow.
