Red River


A red river rushing,
gushing down mountain
leading the way
into downtown
 

raging forward,
it makes its own path
flow not so gentle
it steams like a hearth
 

reaching a plateau
in the middle of town
pool of sizzling red
drown all moaning sound
 

flow is steady
determined to make a path
gentle it swerves
snubbing the mountain’s wrath…
into the ocean’s depth.
