river




river runs past corn stalk acres reached traipsing prickled wooded banks 
sandy ribboned channels cuts through this prairie summer 
water ankle-murky-deep 
freshwater winding rushing low cool water washing 
surrounds skin sun-warmed to tan
freckled sky open cloudless blue wide 
childhood current's respite felt languid amongst the swirl 
freedom's call to wild
