Red River Running

I want to share a recent poem with you...

Red River Running

Red river running

From branches of a tree

Ambidextrous piercings

Fountainhead a vie*

Red river running

From inward-pointed crown

Humiliating mockery

Head hanging down

Red river running

Bubbling up from death

Foe lost his cunning,

Creation gained its breath

Red river running

Through corroded arteries

Enfranchising pardon

Indulgent liberties

Red river running

Medicine is free

Prescription is renewable

Healing balm for me!

*(a vie is French for “of life”)
