The rushing of the river bend is
Floating past the guardrails on this road
I pull off too the shoulder
The white caps on the water rumble
Rustling the flowers
It soothes my nerves
I plant my feet down in the quiet
Trying to be still
The turbine in the distance
Is cooling off her jets
She has grown tired
The water line is rising
No longer is safe passage
No one shouts “Mark Twain!”
I’m losing ground
& Falling short of buoyant
Trying to be still
I must have been asleep
This must have been a dream
My coffee spills
Staining the upholstery
Another 100 miles and we’ll arrive at some motel and rest our heads
Dreaming of the river
Trying to be still.
