I named this river after youFor you I fought with the moon and courted the tidesI made sure that the earth was brownI laid you semi-conscious upon a bed of marbleIn heavenly love abidingAround you, caught leaded colours shine in the sunlightGlow in the moonlightBut my womb aches for you my dead river child, or is it that you are dying?Shall I carry you away my driftwood son?Still, still drifting away?I hoped to sculpt a memory of youI turn again to look at my hands, clean earthSimple son like hands and I sculpt this poem for you, john.
I name this river after u.
4u I fought 4 the moons & courted the tides
made sure the earth was brown
laid u semi-conscious upon a bed of marble
in heavenly love abiding, around u
caught leaded colours shine in the sunlight, glow in the moonlight
my womb aches 4u my dead river child
or is it that u are dying?
shall i carry u away?
My driftwood son, still, still drifting away?
I hoped 2 sculpt a memory of u
I turn again 2 look at my hands, clean earth, simple son like hands
& I sculpt this poem 4u
