river poem #1



about rivers
mostly what i know
is imaginary
inventions of mind
tributaries
memories
sensations





mostly what i know
about rivers
is right on the surface
the wild mix of color
and ever changing
reflections
sky and willow
wave and hollow




rereading Siddhartha
it’s quite astonishing
to catch a glimpse
of the essence
of the vastness
but mostly
the river of thought
takes over
drowning out
the river at my feet
