If you knew this river
truly knew every fish
from egg to fingerling to hook of white bone
every iridescent scale
every bubble white over rocks
every rock
the history of every rock
from fire to salt
every boat broken
on every rock
every jewelbox of a dragonfly
If you knew this river
from spring to sea
every rapid, every calm pool
If you could describe the motion
and the reflections
and the stillness
you would know
one thing
If you knew God
you would know
all things.
