are you a pedestrian
crossing that narrow inlet
of water,
once tormented by salmon
quick flickering to spawn,
no cars or vehicles
yet still you walk,
with a wake about your boots
head down,
light was changing,
and that thread of thought
was anchoring your brow down,
a kiss has a momentum
beyond the lips
carried on a narrow breath
that would never
bring you to a standstill,
salt on eyelashes
cast by the sea
tainting tongue
drying lips,
once clear
return to the cottage
owned by our cities
last blind man,
and wait at the glass

first degree
some river my birth
some river my breath
some river my knowledge
some river i am condemned
some river my clock fails
some river the sun is ravenous
some river my crossing
some river my burden
some river my love
some river trust not regained
some river my being
some river to which i return
some river my body
some river my murder
some river my unfound
to tangled silence
