Mission

The ripples from her feet

Greeting the earnest water

Are rounder than usual

More perfect than a nature circle

Yes it is possible, I’ve seen it

And the rocks soften for a second

Scale down to cushion the riverbed

But retain their rival swagger

Whenever I mimic

The leaves call the herons to roost

When she ponders them

Twenty feet below charmed by bows

By the boughs by the fallen trunks

I see and slither off like the leeches

That escort me out

One hand to God and the other to a wound


She followed what she percieved

As a truth to be discovered

But I had found this realm seasons ago

Sometimes revisited in drizzles

Others in droughts


Her skin would camouflage transluscent

And when the lightrays descended on her

It made me wonder if

The sun was playing favorites
