simple yet prestigious river
sometimes melancholy always curious
receiving deep unsurprising shadows
breaking shallow enhancing reflections
disposing as it dispossesses
all that settles on its surface
not being reflection shadow or passing
it seems to seek another destiny
being the thing it is not being
it both becomes and loses itself
in this liquid world rising falling
dreaming itself a sea that it isn’t
this ever-turning-back-on-itself
this never-had-been-not-even-now
holding reflections releasing them back
sometimes melancholy always curious
receiving deep unsurprising shadows
breaking shallow enhancing reflections
disposing as it dispossesses
all that settles on its surface
not being reflection shadow or passing
it seems to seek another destiny
being the thing it is not being
it both becomes and loses itself
in this liquid world rising falling
dreaming itself a sea that it isn’t
this ever-turning-back-on-itself
this never-had-been-not-even-now
holding reflections releasing them back
up from within this iron-bridged shadow
