riparian glory (for a friend)

so many fans so many followers
each a unique snowflake
fluttering and feathering down
you are at the centre
of this beautiful white-out blizzard

now, make a snowman

before all the snow
melts together
melding, meaningless mumbles of
"fuck, so awesome, you are my

hero"

into interchangeable water droplets
joining together into a trickle on your skin
now a stream
now a river
now the whole fucking tidal ocean

drowning you in praise
tangled seaweed in your mouth
choking on your own kelp
quick, here
a log a raft a canoe

paddle away from this mess
too wild too wet
sopping and soaking in drivel
have a towel
it's warm inside
by the fire
