#the river and under the river

Tonight the river is at work dissolving, solving 
over and over the riddle of its loosening. 
I want to know how to hear it, and what it might teach me: 
how to inhabit this thing of bone, gut, and blood, 
this part of me that would not vanish if I vanished.

Davis McCombs, from “The River and Under the River” in Ultima Thule
