Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEEDFGHIJKLMNODPJ QRSK| As though shedding an old skin | A |
| Fall Creek slips free from fall's weight | B |
| clots of leaves blackening snags | C |
| back of pool where years ago | D |
| local lore claims clothes were shed | E |
| by a man and woman wed | E |
| less than a month who let hoe | D |
| and plow handle slip from hands | F |
| left rows half done crossed dark waves | G |
| of bottomland to lie on | H |
| a bed of ferns make a child | I |
| and all the while the woman | J |
| stretching both arms behind her | K |
| over the bank hands swaying | L |
| wrist deep in current perhaps | M |
| some old wives' tale water's pulse | N |
| pulsing what seed might be sown | O |
| or just her need to let go | D |
| the world awhile let the creek | P |
| wash away every burden | J |
| her life had carried so far | Q |
| open a room for this new | R |
| becoming as her body | S |
| flowed around her man like water | K |
