Fronting the Mekong

shocked silence overshadows your myth of
blood&beauty,
conduit to recycled mysteries of
death&dreams.

paradise by the river radical rosanna
captions her piece of eden, a chunk
of utopia breathing with
muses&marx.

the chapter this moment unfolds to where
your legend ends and reality painfully
begins: forever a misery?

when love is roused again, the silent breeze
in our eyes catches whispers of uncertainty.
tomorrow morning the current runs back with
rage&romance
.
