the things we see-II: River's Diary
March, 2025
She walked past me today.
Her gaze hollow, her pace a ghost.
I can see crimson threads
weaving down her arms—
not gloves, no.
I think she’s going to the Cliff.
I wonder if she’ll return.
Most never did.
April, 2025
She sat at the bank all day
and stared at my ripples—
It is what I’m proud of the most.
I tried to sing for her,
shame that she can’t hear.
So I cried with her instead,
until her tears dried—
Wish I could stop my streams,
but I’m a sentimental River.
May, 2025
I heard the Cliff complaining—
sea wind scratched his face.
She ran past, breathless—
Chased by what I can’t drown.
Hope she made it home tonight.
June, 2025
Nobody saw her.
A daisy bloomed beside me today.
I’ll keep it fresh for her.

August, 2025
She passed by again.
In that flowy silk dress,
and her eyes shimmer.
She was humming,
with a voice low but heavenly—
Oh, and she found my daisy!
I’ve seen that light before—
She’s going to the Cliff.
