Rainbank

by the river do i lie
bank i perch on, stretched out
a spectator some declare
i say not
slowly awareness rises
birds fleeting this way and that
insects playing the game
pulse slowing from civil life
spreading this feeling of peace
the wind i become
a banded happily, no one can touch me
sway with them Trees, as quietly as begun

wind no more, perspire my brow does
muggy & musky my breath beautifully heavy
time at a stand-on the crevice the moment is
does it rain? care not :)
