The Call of the River
By Michael Williams
Because a name is destiny
the soul impelled
by imperative of language
by the blind direction of heart
And because the riverbank
where we stand, half witness
half part of the current
is and is not the tidal surge
There is this vacancy
we fill with imagining
the impulse of ancestry
of place and of nurture
This gap between dream
and what we will never be
bridged by the god's finger
the shape of star and season
until we can say, look there
out in midstream, where the dark
breaks and crests the surface of water
where something we make is making us
and where the birds of the river
tilt wings and splinter the water
and for a moment the current almost means
what we are supposed to be.
