APSU CANAL

by Peter LaBerge

The dips and dams
sculpt
his body

Expanding
at the waist and
branching
to form two legs
water runs down

The wind-tagged rain
descends

He opens
his gaping mouth
swallowing
the sweet droplets whole

A smile
creates a crooked path
for the water
as it passes
through Apsu Canal
and to the sea.
