Sharp-cut banks, love tells

In consonants its later song,...

with rounded river-shaped edges,
greet the rain,
their rushing Creator,
everyday re-creating

Fossils
witnessing time's solidarity
between flowing rivers
and boldly shaped
deforming compassion
for lowest sedated intent,
immortal purposes of flow
yet majestically...

Who did not quite know what to do
Then down by the river
