The River beneath the River

An artist is someone who can touch
The invisible River that flows beneath
the River everyone else can see.

In your aftermath…

You are the river
Running thought me
Comforting, unabashed today…
But tomorrow…
Flooding me with your
Boastful aggression.
Still, the battered banks
Of my youth
Continue to hold you,
Growing Wildly lush
In your aftermath.
