I want to flow like a river, bend around rocks, struggle to get past broken logs in my path, try to run up banks at a bend then glide back down hill, carry things; pebbles, dry leaves, sticks, seeds, lost items – abandoned and missed alike.. find them new homes. fall down cliffs, form misty specks of upside down rain that refract light when I explode at the bottom. Run past forests, towns and deserts, adapt and be adapted to. get to the ocean and just pour myself into – something larger than myself... a library of river stories, a place of rest.
A poem for those unwinding from acting civil when they really want to explore being openly reactive.
