your river and mine sept. 8, 2024

  

this River and that river

are the same river

even if we are miles apart

 reflect the same sky

for the moods may swing

 a different way

 your river bank with trees

 mine with skyscrapers

 yours rich with the scent of pine

mine with the heavy exhaust

 of barges and computer trains

 your river flows into my River

though it takes some time

 your water kissing my water

 and it is divine

 your River mingling with mine

 for those few miles where

 both Rivers reach for the sea

limbs entwined perhaps overheated

as they rub

your River and my River pressed together

 chest to chest in an endless caress

your River and mine becoming one
