Allen Planz at Canio’s Books’ 20th Anniversary Celebration, 2000.
POET + Fisherman + FRIEND
SOLSTICE, an excerpt
Once a child built a fortress against the tide.
In darkling sand,
Not to stop it, but to see his craft washed away,
How water touched
To bring all things it touched
To motion,
To flowing
& soon only mounds remain, & nothing within.
. — Allen Planz, from Creaturely Drift (2008)
