REGION OF MEMORY  

A darting river drives to the center of terrible truth.
An obstruction runs all around me, it flows lastly 
when the great rock is removed. 

Solid and horrible is that telluric form. 

It faces have preceded me and watch me, a simple boy 
in a river started by an ancient, ironic man. 

"Oh boy, the rock will crush you too." 
"Ha! He has the look of a winner!"
