forget not the river
bleeding brown…
… flowing down
forget not her confessions…
… from her mouth to her mountains
forget not her bittersweet tongue
forget not…
… the shedding of her hills
… the downfall of her natives
… the wounds of her wolves
forget not her dissected confluence
forget not her shifted curve
forget not her faded anatomy
forget not…
… her revolting audacity
… and her aging chivalry
forget not the river and her blues
forget not this salvation and her clues
