(Raging) River

I don't know the source of the river. Whose responsibility? It erupts against Whose repression? It always surprises me. I'm terrified it'll become a torrent. ... that it'll consume me. No, not me, but the other. I can't hate them. I wish them the best. But the river flows without regret. I need to temper it. I at least need to try. ... or the regret will consume me, not the other. It's only water—it knows no condemnation. I'm only human—I know much condemnation. But I'm confused: who am I? It's of Nature. Am I un-Natured?
