Singing on the Silt

The last left signs
Of an awakened world,
The mountain they chained to me
Saw a green morning dew.
Was there no horizontal motion?
No stir left when the soft soil cracked?
I heard her singing on the silt of the Nile’s bank
Forty odd-numbered years
That were estranged from her.

circa 2001-2
