Chance Encounter with a Missed Opportunity (04/12/20)

a whisper on the river's edge
a prayer amongst the bulrushes
why do voices travel better
over water?

it's not for lack of trying
And lord knows I've been trying

I dropped the word.

Fumbled it,
sunk it like a stone.
Nested it amongst the others
on the riverbed,
could say I missed the boat.





Butterfingers.
