By Nick Norwood, Michael McFalls, Marc Olivié and Marleen De Bode Olivié
now that you are here
amid crag and gleam
mist-rise and vapor
dark jade frothing
into white lace
here where the rains
come to gargle
spit jets of spray
see herons creep
smokestacks peer
through high windows
spirits sleep
spool and spindle
shaft and shackle
tie-snake and eagle
sit still
as an old powerhouse
and mind your moorings
the river roaring.
This poem is part of a public art display on the Chattahoochee RiverWalk
