Osteopathic

This is about some health problems that have come along in the past few months. It is optimistic though.

Osteopathic

The river,

poisoned by the stained 

grey concrete geometries,

still flows,

along the same valley,

polishing the mountains,

past the overhanging 

water oaks

and wise cyprus trees.

It's blood,

feeding the algae,

and rounding the rocks.

It's curves

stirring up

the purifying mud.

It's flow, accelerating

and collecting through time,

but then broadening 

and thinning,

until still seeping

into the boundless

sodium sea.

-Robert L. Jackson III
