Where the waterway gives out there is mudand when the mud gives outpeople. On display for heaven their thingsarrayed in the dark. A horse fallen intothe track made for it.A longbow can be had for fourteen dollarsat the flea market in Carlislebut it won't fire. And a bear that won't eatat the state fair. Love without blossomeverywhere. Some man has fallen in the mudand the history of thatis clear. Raised up to one arm fell again.Raised his head to see how things would bedropped it back.The sun dries a thing out for something elseto use. And the use of a thingis never used. Or the history of it exhausted.An archer shoots. That's what an archer does. [End Page 20]
