Body Resting On the Bank
February 2, 2014
And she lied there in full bloom, body resting on the bank,
where I watched her from the bottom of trees, eyes open and basket full of oranges
And she lied there on the sand, the river stroking her hair with its visceral way.
Never touching, only receiving.
And as the river ripped through punished rock and the malicious foam formed,
I observed, from afar of course, that it ran with her, through her.
Kissing her heels,
Tasting the swollen flesh from where she stood and fell into the hallowed river.
