(some things)

(some things)

such as the heart
and the blood running through it
the brain
with its bifurcate channels
pulsing
a course
of rivers within
thinning thinner
or thicker
walls
banks of rivers
and the sights along them
an island
thyroid
with a mound
as a mound found
among gravesites of
the indigenous life (yours)
that this land and river
are entrusted to
you a bridge
between you
seeing
your own waters pounding
flood warnings
blood rising
rising
abating
waiting
for
wanting more
than this
for this
