Banks
along a river its banks are set
and keep the river in the river
being in the river the river’s
in its being
within its banks, whole, astatic,
a river flows unbound, ecstatic
a falling river goes
within these banks, astatic,
this river grows unbound, ecstatic
this falling river flows
until, without banks,
this river goes
