THE RIVER
A soul dissolves into the river's savage embrace, finding wild freedom and exalted, sacred connection
June 15, 2022
The river, a rushing beast
running rugged through foliage
scraggly and thick.
This deep out-breath of life
seizes me—
with thought to wind
and only heart, I relinquish—
together we are a clawing
prayer, ragged hymn.
Deep in the disappearing
savage currents I am
away
afloat
engulfed
Me, a swaying sea kelp
tender and long and brittle bones.
Me, the bearer of silvered water moons
clutching breasts and whirling hair.
Me, the exalted one.
