The river howls and dances
and ticks wildly
against the quay
as if the water wants to make
it move
But the quay does not budge
As if the river is afraid
to die
and to dissolve further in the fog
as if it begs the quay
to keep her alive and on board
Each wave is like a hand
an invitation to dance
with her
But maybe if she would let
the stillness sink into her water deep
She would sense
that the quay
gently cradles her
