Savage Rapids Dam (On the Rogue River)

Savage Rapids Dam (On the Rogue River)

Passage obstructed
by blocks of stones, turbines
tame savage rapids
in sedimentary pools.

Providence said in
darkness at low tide only,
passages-obstructed
by blocks of stones, turbines

The salmon’s side
of access, sin barriers, or locks, barricades
lost signs of right, of gallantry
in sedimentary pools
Passages un-obstructed.
