The James River

Slowly slowly the sturgeon return to the James.The nightmare of her genocidefrom caviar Calvinists forgotten by her dead.It is perhaps not all darkened corridors leading nowhere in the end. Perhaps we have a moment still to repent, to humble ourselves before the ancient river sturgeon, to ask how we may be of use in this dying world, to be of use.And if there is not enough time, can you think of a better way to spendwhat remains?
