Response
The River in Me
By Amy Souza
Inspiration piece
The last time
I was a river
I dried up
The next time
I overflowed
Neither time could I
Figure out why
Which forces imposed
Themselves upon me
What reason
What pattern
As a river I
Learned to abide
Though that took time
I’d thought before
Becoming one
That rivers held sway
That they carried
Landscapes
Not the other
Way around
I thought as a river
I’d be in control
And then I dried up
And then I flowed over
