Alex – A Night Aside the Duckabush River

Duckabush-River-Trail-nps_map-e1329279530566

Duckabush
 
 
 
Silence exists alone3
within.
Outside nature crashes
subsides
crashes
weaves harmony, water and earth.
City raised I am un-
conversant
with cycles uncontained.
Voices emerge, a playground recess;
bouncing balls on blacktop, energy
released through compliance
or coiling within
coursing now
NOW!
Forcing me towards edges
Listen!
Authority is watching
Duckabush RiverNow screaming (pleading) threats
I can’t accept.
Energy grabs my heart, races
up my arm, down my leg, round my gut
faster… faster… how fast can I..
STOP!..
…..Stars
and a towering cedar’s collected rain
reach through.
Coyote howls
wilderness whispers,
offers
nothing;
no containment
no silence
only now.
