river poem #2

where is the river

if the river has no edge?

can a being be a river

can a being have an edge?

where is the line between

water and mud?

wing and air

wave and root?

what is the

definitive truth?

can you see me

when i disappear?

can you feel the

current when it’s calm?

when the river

churns and bellows

when the swallows

flutter at dawn?

is it true

is it true?

have the pelicans

moved on?
