livestock power plants,
cement grazed the stream bank

native willows hold the banks, feed the inhabitants, give medicine (aspirin). Erosion heads the list for uninhabitants. Stock trails to water, trails erode to gullies, the direct cause of stream bank loss is grazing out the willows. (Leopold, "Pioneers and Gullies").
Willowing replants the banks,
all Undertakers in the Planting,
a metaphor of oceans, atmospheres: plug the gullies.
Plug the gullies!

Plug the gullies!
