Rivers


~ by Nancy


I miss you

Near
As my heart
Distant
Beyond the count of steps

Despair
Chooses you
You
It
Bleak companions
Darker than the depths
You would consult

What comfort
Vincent
A secret river
Senseless
Deaf

I’m a river
Tides untamed
Mine
A course of tears

I do not understand
Rivers

Out here
A million lights to draw my eye
Cannot
Engage my hope

In there
A haunted space
Refuse
Of an empty life

There is no city
I have no home

Nothing

Come back to me

Rivers
Vincent
Cities
Seek their destiny
Without you

I
Cannot
