Alluvium (40 of 365)

Welcome to day 40 of 365 day poem challenge. 

Alluvium meaning: Sand, silt, clay, gravel, or other matter deposited by flowing water, as in a riverbed, floodplain, delta, or alluvial fan. Alluvium is generally considered a young deposit in terms of geologic time.

Alluvium

It came and swept
Along and absorbed all of it
In a violent whisper

Suspended tearing objects
Unseen and objects protruding 

Then as soon as
It comes its gone and 
The slurry slinks into the distance
Like a lizards tail

The bog now remains
The soft mush left behind
The cold kiss of earth 
The fountain water 
only buried a head's
Press into the shining mud.
