Toward the Sea, With Attitude

Several times a day
The river ignores us
With haughty, wet disdain.

We try to catch it looking,
But always find its silver back
Arching under moonlight.

All night we listen to whispers
Around the blackened rocks,
Secrets washing downstream.

At sunrise the herons gather
Wading the slow shallows
Of its winding insolence.
