The river never said
keep open floodgates,
waves
dwellings and inner caves
I am a trap
voice of consummation
The river never said,
waves eat me
caves trespass me
my paths wounded
so well hounded
by men in dens of fantasy
the love of rhapsody
water lapping
waves overlapping
fish swimming
headless motion,
lacking direction
The river said:
beat me into pulp of
serfdom
voiceless kingdom.
