river

I fell on the river surface,

Currents so wild and fierce,

I was dazed,

But I had to face my fears.

,

As I fell,

A sharp rock edge kissed my spine,

Painful just like your silence,

Haunts my muscles just like your kisses.

 ,

I drifted away,

Rocks too slippery to grip on,

Branches too brittle to hold on,

I glided away.

 ,

My skin blue, red and white,

Blue, punched by the boulders,

Red, scraped by thorns,

White, bleached by the chillness of the waters.

 ,

From the peak of the waterfall,

I plunged, tumbled, fell,

Into the white foam,

And after that I could not recall.
