“If you apologize

for something you had no part in

then your friends will not trust you

and your enemies will not fear you.” 

for Lisa and Bryan

The river

brushes
the rocks
a brazen flirtation

and pouts
in the afternoon sun.  

Turtles stoic
on opposite ends
of a beaver-felled log

ruby throats

the passion

in the river 
their beating hearts audible.
