and all the rivers I have loved
my time, this flowing
with its irregular heartbeat
moments whitened against stones
pausing to send edged light
coded mail, the quick eddy, there
too fast, again and again.
Somewhere
under the rush
a low flute
reshaping the air.
Beautiful to sound and to look at.
ReplyDeleteLovely, Lorna.
ReplyDeleteI am a lover of rivers, too, so this speaks to me very deeply, Lorna. I love "moments whitened against stones" and the "edged light".And that "low flute, reshaping the air." Wow.
