Long, ribbonlike leaves
of aquatic plants
flex and sway, undulating
with the sweep of current.
I'm wading knee deep
along the wild banks
of the Flat River,
wide and shallow.
Like the hair
of an underwater maiden,
green strands tangle
and tickle my legs.
I touch my palm
flat to the water's surface,
believing I can feel
the pulse of the river.
