March Poems, No. 12
Oaks by the rivers
Caress the arms
Of the river
That circle their roots.
I sit by a river,
Wishing I were an oak
So the lips of water
Would kiss my roots.
But I am not wood,.
I'm unloved flesh,
And I have no roots,
So I never stay still in one place,
And feel the soft fingers
Of water touching me..
