The Needs of River To be smooth below. Stones like little beds for fish. Stones like eyes matching sky. Stones like memory, colored when wet. To be what is not stopped. Seaward past the hard crag. Seaward past the dams and man. Seaward past the lonely wander. To be what is lived in. To be what is died in. Depending on the rain. To be god, or the idea of god before human intervention.
