July In Washington Comments

A beautifully written elegy. Most original imagery.

Otters slide and dive and slick back their hair, 
 raccoons clean their meat in the creek.

 On the circles, green statues ride like South American
 liberators above the breeding vegetation—- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -novel choices of images and such lively and true-to-life images that stand there so vivid in our minds. And then there's the political and social commentary blended in.
