This road
12 January 2017
This road is unlike a river
Though like a river it meanders
With large and tiny bends
And mighty and feeble swirls
Oft in silence and secrecy
Though like a river it braids
With channels like blood veins
And many an eroding bank
Oft with energetic sound
This road is unlike a river
I am certain of it
Like the Okuk Highway
Like the Hiritano Highway
It goes uphill and into the clouds
It goes through countless swamps
This road is certainly unlike a river
Though it becomes murky at times
And clear at other times
You can't drink off it
Nor bathe in it
This road .... is my road.
