Tributary [Free Verse]

Your river is a tributary.
My river is a tributary,
merging
&
flowing to a sea.

I feel your molecules,
floating past my own,
intermingling
& 
in some way tingling:
a jangled excitation.

And, 
[at the sea]
we will be, together
&
[at the sea]
we will be together.

I no longer worry
that I'm a river with no name --
an anonymous tributary -- 
because every sea 
has many names.

River Song [Haiku]

the river sounds;
its murmur is all that's heard...
until the cowbells

Prek Chu [Haiku]

soft, shrubby shoulders
line Prek Chu's winding way
of smooth, white boulders
