      DRIFTING

      Petal boats
      speckle the stream
      in staccatos of white
      Weaving together
      in silence
      comingtogether
      and drifting a par t

      like strands of corn silk afterbirth.

      Led by pebbles,
      they flow

      with bubbles

          'til the fall
      where they rip

                         and split  their  white

                         and bleed
      in shredded tears
      never
      to see
      again.
