stillness
looking at stillness

noisy reed thrush--
the big river flows
in silence

    One wrong turn leading into the stillness .. into the silence.

    A great post altogether. Great poems needless to mention!

    "Folding the river inside the map." I'm not exactly sure what that means but it sounds so lovely I don't care.

    small splash

    in the big river, almost

    silent -- heron dips for a bug

    Charles:

    I think it means something like I would do while trying to read a map ... and then off on adventure that is totally unplanned.
