River to the Sea


From the moment
I bore witness to the power
of the river, rushing
through the rough-dangle
of wisdom’s roots

felt the winds incite
the tempest
as to inflict
its burgeoning banks
in punishment

watched
the inviolate devotion
of pebble and rock
as they lay in their bed,
and it bled and bubbled
in rapid snaking crescendo
to the sea

I was hushed...

from my deep dreaming,
to your dark waters ~
I, your thief of breath...
amaranth, no longer dormant,
but undying in my hunger to taste
this incarnadine sin

I rocked to your roll,
as you pared and pinched
my rise and fall ~
skyclad, we writhed
with and against our own current
a shimmering torture
in meter and rhyme,
enslaved...

as condemned trees
couched their green-eyed protests
of our worship,
we danced, and the sky bowed low
to rake the whispering seashells,
that awaited our coming

we wore our reckless abandon
as second skin, unafraid
as our fire permeated
the rustling of weeping limbs,
aqueous to the whimsy
of your wild water touch

till we reached the open mouth of the sea
where love’s torrent subsides
and we became the
soothe of moon-burn
in our lapping...
