RIVER RUNS DOWN is a tribute to the Mokelumne River, which is a river very close by to us, which I am growing to love as if it was a person, more and more every day....

RIVER RUNS DOWN

For these fine three miles
River runs down to join Life
Deepest in it's bones

No River has blood
Still you see the sinews tight
Against these great rocks

Fight for wild, for free
For the chance to be alive
With the Animals

Carry me with you
Ophelia, still, alive
Bent on gliding home

Child of River Life
In love with each River's Song
River Rats Sing, too

Bring the boulders home
Bring home the trees, roots and all
Bring them to this sea

At mouths of each sea
Rivers are singing of land
Places they have been

When I am well gone
My ashes go to River
River will do well....
