Confluence

Celilo still thunders
under water damned
to be silent

the hearts
of its people
re-sound the wave

a vigil beating
down walls
that it may thunder

again

  1. Kay, glad to read your poem again. I hope everything has been going well for you.

    And your use of one-word as a concluding stanza is audacious and emotionally effective.

  3. And when they want it they better get it. But they generally reward the effort like this one. Beautiful, Kay.
