Saved

Perhaps God is

a waterfall

tucked deep inside

canyon's swollen lips

on a sweltering April day,

a young friendly woman

with a slight stutter

holding her daughter

'Elli Belli' and me

shirtless grinning,

pants rolled up

past bony knees,

glasses safe

on a dry boulder

and like a toddler weaving

lurching across this pebbled 

bottom to perch

underneath

surprising beauty

receiving all her plunging

grace and happy

din crashing down the cliff

onto soaked ears,

her frothy tongue

drenching my mortal skin,

so sensuously tingling--

such wild joyful purifying,

this fluid's saving

unclenching

must surely be a sin.
