Waterfall
With your lover, you watched the waterfall.
Digital blue, in Argentina,

and with seabirds flying across the face of the falls.

If you wait long enough, watching the water's turmoil and blossom,
the waterfall ends, the persistent sound grows mysterious,

and then there are years, with seabirds flying across the face of the falls.

Don't wait, though. If you look away now,
it never ends. You hear the roar, but there's no mystery -

only your lover's eyes, watching the waterfall.
