lyrics

March 21, 1994

By the whooshing river
fingerprinted by wind,
by a frothy vortex of equinox,

I sun in my birthday suit
on the white, sinuous throne
of a water-worn log.

Fingernails of wind
rake the river’s sparkling skin.
Slowly sliding, darkly clear,

like the river,
I awaken
in the sun.

Between crusted snow
and sun-dried rocks,
is there a force

melding it together?
Or is the liquid sun
smoky water

rounded rock
and touch of wind
welded by whim?

Flowing water is my mantra.
Liquid light fills the space,
billows from within.
