James Long Poet Prose Poetry

~ (~) ~ At the Waters Edge ~ (~) ~

"Chuck-chuck-cough-hack-chuck-hack-
Papa-gather-up-a-towel-shock-has-got-
him, hurry-up; "come-on; good-little-feller-
hold-on."


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


"Where-am-I-feel-like I've-died went-to-heaven?"


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


"Struggling-amid it the-river had you 
pulled-you out!"


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


"You're-a-Dear-heart-
truly friend, thanks."


"Walked down-for-
a drop-of-water... ."


"My fault she didn't 
mean to you know,

I was-fooling-around."


"Guess I got cocky-
taunting-splashing-
stepped a ways in-
filling my vessel full-
I tested." 


"Raging I'd say parched-
yes just as much she was-
carried me away with her-
before I knew I was here!"


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


"Didn't you know buddy?"


"Friend-patience, wisdom;
listens-tests the water most often-
yes-often-first; at-the-waters-edge."
