Poem 115: Delta

curious fluttering hand 

     of Mystery pauses 

     distracted 

at the confluence 

of river and sea 

tapping and swirling 

     an impatient design 

waiting for the words 

     to come 

     they never do 

     all at once 

they have always been 

hidden 

     in the elegant 

     alluvial language 

of the delta
