Notes About The Poem

[This is a significant revision of a poem I wrote in 1984]

River's-Life's Edge

The misanthropic ants
crawl on reality
as I sit by
     the river's edge

ruminating on
hellish collapse

meditating on
peaceful solitude

The river’s undulations
caress reality
as I sit by
     life’s edge

Hello Nick V., being by the water would be relaxing for the soul. Watching the waves come to the shore is relaxing. Enjoy your day my friend.
