River Path

Click to enlarge.


Brown water murmurs
and churns,
its current
tugging fretfully
at the willow branches.
Come with me.

....

A boy on a red bicycle
hurrying to reach
his future
anxious to overtake me,
saying excuse me
pedals by.

....

I move aside
and watch them pass.

Bah. Disordered prose, indeed!

This is lovely, lovely poetry.

Excellent. 'A boy on a red bicycle /
hurrying to reach / his future'. What a great line.
