River Rocks
The way she walks transmogrifies
My brain into soft clouds and kites
When below is where reality lies
Sweetly, strongly, in those silt brown eyes
Around those black river rocks, madsmoothed
By what, I’ll never know, until I lose
Control to that memory of fingers fused
In streambed sand held fast enough to bruise
But beneath, behind, lies a thousand miles
Of universe unspoken, obsidian unfiled
Night the shade of river rocks reviled
By needing hands, caught in snares of smiles
But when she turns away to go, I find
That sway, that river flow, transcend the sky
