It’s all part of the river’s story, which it’s always willing to tell.”

“Dead River—the center of some story Grandpa used to tell around the campfire, back when I was foolish enough to believe anything. A tale of a whirlpool, snatching a man under while fishing in the middle of the current, snagging him on a root or treetop, never to be found again. It was the first time I knew the river to be murderous.
As we grow closer, the landscape of clay and muddy water fades to a sandy-white shoreline and waters the color of
black coffee, due to the influence of tannic acid from the leaves. Spanish moss hangs from nearly every branch, casting long, thick shadows across the sand.
The breeze calms to a mere breath of wind, the only movement some water bugs that resemble spiders, darting across the river’s surface. Gone are the splashes of the gar, and the occasional squawk of water fowl.
True to its name, the place is sinister. Dead.”
― McCaid Paul, Dead River

“native nostalgia, a prelude to the now

when will we ever feel safe in the Mother City’s nest? Neng? Nini?
i long for a time when harmony between humans and nature was not a utopian
dream scattered by the patter of raindrops that threaten rooftops.
the rain that is no longer euphony or lullaby to hush you to slumber.
a storm is fast approaching, stay on higher ground, dig up trenches and unclog the drains
wailing voices choking within the Mother City echo code red, declare this a national emergency
belligerent tempest(s) warn of a time to come, a treaty between the mortals and the natural environment is needed!
displaced, confused, we’ve become strangers to the Mother City

“This is the place where I want to be young
To breathe the beginning breath
Through newborn lungs
To run barefoot chasing butterflies
To sleep beneath wondrous skies
To stand on stony mountains
Far above the birch and pine
Looking down at all about me
I’ll call this world mine
…..
When the wild wind sings
I will hear its song
That beckons to my heart,
Tells me that I belong
And all these hills and every tree
Become a part of my story
…..
Yet, as the pages of a story grow
Characters learn, develop, go
May it be granted, if I leave
If I change in any way
That this place will always remain
The same as I saw it today
…..
If my feet wander
If life’s paths take me far
Time may alter youthful face
But let not it change a tree or star
Let not it touch a leaf
Nor a river, nor a stream
Or raise a cloak of shadow
Over even one sunbeam
The years may not lift their hand
To crumble any stone
Or free their feet to trample
Fields where flowers have grown
…..
If I tarry long
The song will bring me back
If in the journey I am lost
The wind will steer my track
I will be changed when I come
Grey hair and marred face
But the hills will recall
That I am one with this place
Standing, just the way I used to
Upon the mountain height
Breathing, just the way I once did
The crisp, star filled night
And praying, just the way I always have
That I might be young here.”

It’s amazing.” He started weeping and weeping and weeping, not with sadness but with a joy he had known only in dreams.”
