Neolithic dead were
frequently placed
in rivers, and floated down to the sea...
Sweet
scent of autumn's flowers
dying
with the shadows of
leaves, and geese honking as the wind shapes
directions
leaping
from rock to cantering rock,
water circling, as I slipped, and fell
backwards toward the freezing sea,
Orpheus
strummed his guitar,
and
I drowned
in illusion of being alive.
