Mikaela Castledine #220 How wide are rivers?

How wide are rivers?

streams sure

brook jumps and creeks step across by stone

reach across the rills and runnels

when is the river width enough to be

not a running lake

not the centrifugal whirlpool of a sea

with ripples on every shore

rivers being journeys end to end

when is the crossing side to side

a voyage all of its own
