DC PLACES ISSUE Andrea Wyatt   THE CORMORANTS ARE DIVING An early fogbank shrouds the river's surface stilled, the tidal aspects of its flow, across, horizon line obscured and secret, the cormorants are diving down deep below, For bony fish and river shrimp, concealed in the muddy bottoms of the Anacostia's river's flow, snapped up in triumph by hard, black beaks, the cormorants are diving down deep below; Ascendant, they fly together, then land on pilings rotting down deep below, slow, the Anacostia's river flow, spread full out their wide, black wings to dry in gradual brightening glow. Andrea Wyatt was born in Brooklyn and now lives in Washington, DC with her husband, bookseller Lansing Sexton. She works at the University of the District of Columbia.
