just a shimmer at the surface
suggests the stirrings inside
then a shift, a shiver
down it comes crashing
rolling and rushing

the cascade sweeps on
roots and rocks flashing

the adventurer waits below
I tumble into his arms
wrapped tightly there
my blood pounds
the roaring rush pulls me under
I am buried

the valley floor:  a wasteland
the river's course pushed aside
thunder-echoes fade into the hills

silence is all that is left
above the disturbed soil
the wake of a landslide
