River

River of
lament,
wildflowers,
quiet aches,
dancing flames,
half-awake dawn
sand whispers
melt with fables
of
wants,
dreams,
fog,
unquenchable salt waters,
lightning,
broken shadows,
obscure sounds,
and fade in playful tides
of arriving tears.

The humming froth of absence
moors on a forlorn coast.
of leaning truths,
wounded waves
and bleeding wishes.

The fierce lament
of a firefly,
of shadows and light,
surging within,
sings.
