The Red River

Like a tiny boat
Swimming through
The Red River;
Impossibly small
Incredibly large
Like the spark
Of a gas stove
In the back of the room
 
The warmth spreads
Like an invisible wave
Thoughts swimming pointlessly,
Obey the pulse
They stand
And the words flow
Like water in a
River
The Red River
