Murray Mist

Beneath the mist current moves fish, ducks the future ticks, taking them whatever, to who knows where but we are from beyond all that beneath the mist the originals swim, drown not their sorrows, but die bridge builders watch ducks paddle upstream joke about sperm psychological whales? not up this far beneath the mist every morning I wake at the same time but this time of year every morning is earlier so I wake further up river all the time beneath the mist I am up so early now that I see myself pass by the fish, ducks, the river of life all flow before me - in an instant beneath the mist of the mighty Murray.
