  just downstream from that dark place,
  where last beats fell and waters churned
  a man looked down upon his face…
  ın reverie, his thoughts did turn:
  
  to follow the river is to follow the arc
  ıt does not drift, it does not wait
  find its course with limb and mind
  there walks a man;
  there runs his fate
  
  to follow the river is to follow the thread
  ıt does not lie, it does not leave
  drowning stones there as he does,
  he comes to think;
  he comes to breathe
  
  something of that ember lives!
  he feels it bide, he feels it wake
  looking out, but at itself,
  as if to speak;
  as if to make
  
  his vision forming, flowing now
  ın tumbling verse, in melting song
  crafting words there as he does
  they echo out,
  they echo on:
  
  “but a vessel, alive,
  for a time, ı would thrive,
  that was all,
  nothing more lay below it…
  but a vessel, adrift,
  not a theft, nor a gift,
  that was all -
  but a pulse, but a poet”
  
  “but a vessel, alive
  for a time, ı would thrive
  that was all
  nothing more lay below it
  but a vessel, adrift
  not a theft, nor a gift
  that was all
  but a pulse, but a poet”
  
  to drink from the river is to meet with the arc
  and drink until quenched
  the man did
  but a vessel, adrift,
  not a theft, nor a gift,
  that was all -
  but a pulse
