Stonewall

He waits confused by the side of the rushing
gushing river while it foments small liquid rebellion
against the water gods by running up rocks
and over banks then all of a sudden the moment seizes
him and he realizes why he is here present-in-hand
he has come to give thanks though no closer
to his goal the knowledge helps him...
and night is a violent ebony vine fading to dust
from the ground up. This is morning dew or call it dusk:
Even the rhythm and cycle of this life is not something that he trusts.
For we are all black and winter-bound... and he just
hopes that someone will wake him when springtime ends.
