The river silence
how it approached the fork in the road
where the heart of a child
can sometimes be the heart of
a lonely wanderer

how eyes are used
instead of words
to bring a stare
that hurdles over the glaring noise
in hopes that a scene from a film
will come to life at the open bar
spread across the mountaintops dark, forest eyes

Sometimes its the last dance
the one where a touch of the river
brings you and your room closer together
with only the window as your saint
a small patch of fog on the bottom half of its face

She use to hurt the oak wood
of the master bedroom front door
fall into the lap of the soft, centered bed
with her shoes still on
unfit to speak with a breathes last gasp

It became routine
between the hashmarks
of the hearts tearful plea
sleepless nights followed
rather than eyes wide open
knowing the river wild has turned against me, once again.
