At the riverbank

my poem no. 7

Imagine that they name a boat after you
It sails every day on the Vltava river
making waves reflected by the walls of the Kampa island
And you are eternal
At least for about fifty years
All your desires and hopes and the tremor eating you
you can drown them in the river
Even your body if you want
Then you can stop strolling at the riverbank
and watching  the seagulls so longingly
If they’d name a boat on the Vltava river after you
you’d finally be able to do anything.
