Part IV: Catapult



Oh, woe the river flows

That never pulls its weight

And sits there lazy

As useful as a puddle

After a rinsing rain

Sent to darken all the soil

And freshen up the grass

And moves dawnward eyes

Around to see potential

Restless in his chubby heart

The dreamy night drips dark

As life revives through climbing day

So life is still a slow decay

As the roof lazily leaks

I but catch the rain

Between my smiling teeth

That stare up to the sky

To see what flies
