I miss the music of my creek.
Softly burbling down it's concrete
road. We used to walk through it
legs spread part as we investigated,
going where we were forbidden to go,
for fear of evil mosquitoes
and nastier things.
Sometimes it flooded and looked
More like a wild river than our sweet creek,
Aweful in the old sense,
There was wonder there.
Industrialized though it was,
there was magic in it.
