Downriver

What's carried away downriver...by way soul.

Downriver...crystalline ventricles gurgling,
bedded stones believe rest--greenhorn's
hymnal.
Land kept at sides, passed away and passing,
love's dicast vigil.
Gushed alter of wayfarer, perfect turn of phrase--
spurred onward gravity's lane.
A comingling smoke of candle and incense--
bird's parallel, lucid Coming...divined gadge.
Euphoric to be had of earth, overflow at rain's
touch.
Errant yonder, solvent sketch...at-long-last's
monotone declarative.
Repurposed fount blown seaward--soul's
minutea in plain...downriver...downriver.
