(c) 2005
A river is any fresh water stream whose path
has not been designed on blueprint; not in
the disarrayed shops of carpenters or leatherworkers,
A salesman hears “stream” and imagines online events.
Developers want to pull the river taut.
A river discharges into another, into lake or ocean.
A river defines cliffs, beaches, and villages.
A river is never river alone.
Trout breaking surface imply hymns.
The acoustics of stones mirror the river.
A river may become lost. Should it reappear
it is transformed by the weight of earth.
As the river ages, it expands the valley
giving all of us a place to sit.
