Kneel at that river bend
in supplication
in silent meditation
and hold fast to the quiet whisper that say
Drink
between heartbeats
in a slow lazy way
so that it curls around you
but you look at the water
and your hands are frozen
it is not clean
maybe there is another river
or faster moving water
you rise from the riverbed
you are afraid
of the water
of the current
you can swim
but you do not know if you can stand
at the riverbed
the current is fast and unforgiving
it moves around you
through you
it does not touch you
the river moves forward
rushing
turning
roiling
it will drown you
Kneel
there is another river
there is faster moving water
but still
Kneel
Drink
