Haibun: River Pleats

Sitting on the rocks that made up the small island below me, I watched as the pleats of the river surface danced in and out. The current pushed against the rock ledges deep down and came up, causing a battle of two current, only to lose its power and the pleat would come folding back in to reset and start again. 

...And so do my hopes and fears, emerging from realities outside of me and desires inside, pushing and pulling, folding and making lines.

Salt river pleats and folds

from currents below, squeezed through.
