April Poem-A-Day 15: Wait for me by the river

Wait for me by the river.

We’ll strip naked and dive
into the powerful waters
to explore and plumb
the secret currents together.

In the eddies we will laugh
at danger while we come down
from the fear adrenaline
ebbing in our shared blood.

I call to you
from the edge of the flood:
Wait for me by the river
so we can swim together.
