Have you ever
Seen a hippopotamus
Running in cadence,
Alongside an

If You Find Yourself In the Middle of Mid Winter River

freezing
inner conscience
someone threw
by a stone
as it breaks
It's the record of those groans.
An event.

weave
the
river of light
red blue and green
with
some indigo
tonight

In this quiet stream
That flows through
