The River Poem by VO THI NHU MAI

The River

A child draws roads on the water's surface
each ripple is a promise of returning or vanishing

The river eats dreamers, grandmother said
Knitting wishes into torn nets
but her eyes followed the current

Years unpack cities, but one scent of river mud
and I am a boy again with wet feet listening
