O turbulent river,
hundreds of tributaries
inflate your waters,
tireless meanders
remove you from your goal,
the feelings sink
as insane ships.

turbulent river,
you ruin hills,
words and rains.

O turbulent river,
it is with relief
that I build high dams
on your excessive course,
I want to make navigable
the beauty of your waters.

Yann - Your titles have been catching my eye tonight.  Perhaps our hope should be to understand the mind and the reasons why it takes us on the meander rather than attempt to confine it.  Let it go free!
