Some time when the river is ice ask me
mistakes I have made. Ask me whether
what I have done is my life….
I will listen to what you say.
You and I can turn and look
at the silent river and wait. We know
the current is there, hidden; and there
are comings and goings from miles away
that hold the stillness exactly before us.
What the river says, that is what I say.
