stout black-and-white birds the guarded river stewards
(the word stalwart the word boulder)
the glisten of decelerating shallows
rocks and bright green riverweed
the banks are broken but it's not a catastrophe
young lithe trees with their socks wet
"chubsters" - the unhurried dippers
try that, skinnymalinks
