The River of Life Manifesto

Breath-like          skin over rivers waters                  god’s eye
fast-moving        pan                        reveals                                 fireflies of ideas                               
wrinkle               wrinkle                                 sink        wrinkle                                 sink                        wrinkle
At this speed     death sinks up                   dark and reaching
an           sunken oak         snags unexpected bare ankles
wrinkle               wrinkle                                 sink        wrinkle                                 sink                        wrinkle
and at its mouth a prayer             white paper that dissolves
keep writing                        in the    invisible ink of love
