a river.

Swallow breath and Iron

Drink life in

like a sponge

soaking up the earth.

Swallow honey like warm syrup

flowing down your throat like

a river runs through

a rocky path

flowing over rocks

and rubble

feel yourself slip into the water.

Soft laps of bitter fluid

wave over your face

engulfing you in quiet silence

pebbles bounce off the top

of your head.

crystal fragments

of light

bounce off your irises

filling your vision with

harrowing rainbows.

a river.
