.
from source to sea:
the desire line
of water
rarely follows
a straight path
.
.
Flux -> Flow -> Gravity -> Time:
all combine
with light, to reveal
the sounds and colours
of falling water
.
.
All of the utterances.
From a babble of words,
a line of desire
occasionally emerges
.
.

Thanks Steve – nice water infused reading.
Fantastic title – is it yours or borrowed?
Thanks Ann. Unless it has seeped into the unconscious from somewhere else, hopefully ours. Have been thinking a lot about desire lines lately and, when encountering this scene on a walk, it just wrote itself!
Very beautiful diacronic poetry .
