River Crossing　　Brian Henry　　There, where stones populate　　the underneath, splay(张开，展开)　　rain as it blends & stops　　being rain, raises the river,　　water into water, stone　　into soil, too slick to stand　　or walk, too wide to freeze　　or span, to cross you must　　swim, the current a visible　　instance of movement:　　you'd enter the water here &　　if not pulled under　　would emerge so far down-　　stream the crossing'd require　　another journey entirely,　　on foot, over uncertain terrain(地形，地势) ,　　over what, through ownership,　　through deed, is called property,　　thus encroachment(侵犯，侵蚀) , thus trespass.

　　The mind, though, can cross,　　along with the eye (where it can see).

　　The body, my dear, counts for　　so little—nothing, really—here.
