If all rivers begin somewhere, some high point
above the tree line, then yours, too,
have an origin.
Start at the ocean, the uncrossable
body that your saltwater has filled,
every drop from every moment
between that far off then and this
now, and trace it back.
Go under the bridges I built over
the rivers, step on the stones
in the streams before them,
find the source, high above
where even fog cannot reach.
Listen to the sound as it makes
its way to the sea, back to
me.
So much sorrow, but gravity
and time
can make it sing.
