I Follow The River Of My Body... Poem by RIC BASTASA

i follow the river of my body
its currents and its winding through
the mountainsides passing the
trees and the cliffs not minding the
clouds in the skies casting a shadow
in my body, always passing by

i am going towards an ocean
about to pass the mouth of this bay
towards the boundless sea.

i am nobody now,
i am nothing, part of the sea,
part of anything, nameless to the
water, forgotten by the islands,
lost, and rested to the floors of
this earth, without a mind
without a soul.
