Late Spring On The Potomac River Near Hancock, Maryland<\/span><\/p>\n

by Robert Halleck<\/p>\n

Cold water numbs legs
\nputting canoes into the
\nriver. Partially leafed trees
\ncover the recent remains
\nof floods: a Styrofoam cooler,
\nbottles, a one armed shirt.
\nLeaning back, paddling down-
\nstream is easy. Small Bass
\nfooled by lures are released
\nto someday be fooled for the
\nlast time. The current and
\nwhite water will shrink in summer
\nheat to expose sentinel rocks
\nleaking their gift of salt to
\na downstream sea.<\/p>\n
