I am rivers

renoirgallery.com (The Blue River by Pierre-Auguste Renoir)

I am rivers

I am silver moons,

rays on your shoulder

You when you’re older

I am fire

I smolder you, burning,

I am you yearning for more

Your cradle

I am able to nestle you,

wrestle you out

Make you shout!

Suckle you

Buckle you down

Carry you cottoned

to your tomb

Bury you

I am your womb

I marry you to my shadow,

then let you go

I am all you know

Or will, ever

I am the wound in your sliver.

I am your shiver

Blue River
