River Narrows
by John Clare Stokes
Okeefenokee paddle strokes
Trembling under thwart
Bull Gators provoked
Island hammock snorts
Black bear splashing
Paddle strokes increasing
Into tannic crashing
Fear never ceasing
Into River Narrows
Suwannee's birth canal
The silence grows
Then screams and howls
Conceived into flow
Eternal toward sea
New secrets unfold
Birthed from Okeefenokee
Bob Jones in Dougon on River Narrows
