the river

"The River"

Listen

to the breath of the river

to the heartbeats of its stones

to the muffled screams they're making

to the whispers heard above

Look

at the stones thrown into water

at the river flowing still

at the rings at the surface

at pretentious waves they seem to be

Show me

the man throwing rocks

the reasons of its choices

the reasons of boulders' silence

and the reasons of pebbles' noise
