Burning rivers

Flaming bridges up in smoke— ashes scattered in the wind Requiem to passing yesterdays; vestige of all that’s lost — bestrewn in prevailing currents amongst the drifting autumn leaves No smoke on rising waters — lingers between growing distant shores Untamed rivers rising rinse away the taste of sparks spake from silent tongues Portaging all that once was with all that could never remain, back to the briny deep An uncontainable rivers pilgrimage — entombing reverently ancient fractals of being Sowing feral rivers' ashes — sacrificial scatterings of destiny washed afar unto the flotsam on shoreless stormy seas Jesse Stillwater
