Destination Unknown

it had once been a startling mountain top in the stream

until the currents rid tides and flash floods had other ideas

the river gods streamed an apocalyptical cleansing of souls

and pointed in four directions for storm cloud’s release

to choose from as if flotsam had any say in the matter

dolphins know best and they clung to next tale of the ride
