the torrential rush–
the merging of two rivers
caught in collision,
tumbling, falling,
submerged and subsumed–
then the stream faltered
into a trickle,
leaving only the salt
of tears long dried out.
sometimes
the bouy bobs and drifts,
still afloat
in a small pond.
She catches a sob,
wiping the lonely tear
before it falls for him
again.
Oooooh! I KNOW these two streams girl–let me tell ya!!!!!

I love the precise language, tight, ripe with meaning: torrential, merging, collision, tumbling, submerged, subsumed (esp subsumed, I’m adopting that one), faltered, drift, lonely, again. Beautifully done, Chevvy. 🙂
