A dead hedge is a traditional way to turn fallen branches, pruned limbs, and leftover wood into a useful natural habitat/fence.
Debris is my beginning
The only place to start
As the river waters rise and fall
Rise and fall (5 times in as many weeks)
It's the debris that sticks
Making unruly nests
On high water marks
As testament to the power
As story to the sun
stuck in the walk bridge rails
Looking flimsy and ethereal
But it's glued solid with mud
Unearthed sculptures
Crafted by water.
Debris theory.
