the sound of water............ The river continued to flow
out of control........................like the sound of an unanswered telephone
in the clearing ...........................when you know the man you love is there
across the river ......................but will not pick up the phone.
cold water...................... blood stains.................... brown grass on the hills...... a flowered dress.............. a glass of beer................. sleep.............................. background noise........... low flying planes............. every pebble glistened............... the evening sunlit leaves the smell of green grass.... warm sun......................... a red front door................ cold cereal........................ working............................ to the shores of Tripoli.................... a white shirt....................... making love...................... the children laughing.......... blue jeans......................... potato soup...................... the unbidden flood............... because I have never been there footprints.......................... unwashed windows........... a dark corner.................... the pine trees overhead...... walking............................. riding................................ the horizon........................
