this river curves like comma
slowing for the sake of clarity
bending to be understood
we are at one such point
right on the tip of the comma
deciphering meaning
in a sunlit sentence gurgling its speech
why must I resort to metaphor
there is no grammar to be found here
why can’t I express this in clay or mud or massage
all i want to tell you is that the river is running
and it shows no signs of stopping
and I wish you could feel that
I wish you could be touched by a curve
