Fences, Neighbors, Rivers
Good neighbor, this fence won't halt morning glories, wild blackberry vines. This world confounds perfection. This river roils green in winter, outlasts stone. Let vines take the fence or fence's ruin. This river shapes our border, runs gray in blackberry time.

Fences, Neighbors, Rivers

Good neighbor, this fence
won’t halt morning glories, wild
blackberry vines.

This world confounds perfection.
This river roils
green in winter, outlasts stone.

Let vines take the fence
or fence’s ruin. This river
shapes our border, runs gray
in blackberry time.

Ed Hausken
