Pebbles in this river-


smooth as skin, every one!


Shall we check further downstream?


No need. These pebbles have been kissing.


Tuesday, kiss. Wednesday, kiss.


Have you no prophecy for next Friday?


Pueblo, these waters swell


with more tears than your own.


Cast your line further now.

there is the real sense of friction here between the pebbles on a daily basis to bring them to then point they find themselves in now.
beautiful
