she presses her feet against my clayey banks
as she walks along, leaving imprints
but she takes a bit of me with her too
as my mud stains and clings
thus we both are changed, by her passing
and she lifts her souls to the sea
reigning over me, eroding me
gently pulsing against my shores
some stacks remain where i’ve been hard
her toes kissed by the rain
