before the river

if there were a time
before that notion of the river
where men swam
foolishly ignorant of the current

the time before that tumult

what was that time
what lingered
what failed to persist what did not survive what was lost
what swam
foolishly ignorant
happenstance
fortuitous

what emblem of grace, persistence
ignorant of time
yet to fall to the madness of time
