i roll into
monday brightness
feetseeking earth
a sundayless
listener
waiting to wake
(medicating for non-heaval
sun-burnishing the pain)
i hear
the riverroadcall
deep humm’d
feel the pull of my
wet-trailing
blue-shoe-sailing
one-at-a-time
soles-don’t-fail-me
pre-steps practiced
dreamed & planned to
imaginary imperfection
traipsed to my
inner port & back
in unanticipation &
urgency & certain-seem’d
sureity about returnity
(shots & prepills &
ointments & more pre)
river song
river call
river might
river thrall
river beat
river on fire
shivering heat
risen like a dawn wind
from gilded waves
as they burn
aroused now
my river beast
sallies the day
battling forty thousand
fathoms of mud
heart first
