River

River flowing by

a ribbon running, returning to the sea

not a slow, meandering

not a soft reflection of the sky

not a gentle touch to the shore

not an invitation to step in.

River flowing by

a fast whip of whirls and twirls

that pull and push its shore

that spins its current

that slaps the edges containing it

that: a warning to step away.

River flowing by

its anger surging from a strength upstream

pushed by a plethora of forces

struggling as drama in motion

like the undercurrent of hidden truths

uncovering white lies.
