Confluence

*

I glanced outside
at the river
and noticed a strange effect

the ducks had noticed it too
but couldn't tell me
what had caused the swells

no boats had been passing
but yet the river
rollicked and roiled...

the moon high above
in the afternoon sky

probably held the answer
but she was keeping it to herself

so I had to reason
that it was a confluence
of the tide and wind

and be content with that...
