from The Negro Speaks of Rivers / by Langston Hughes

I’ve known rivers ancient as the world and older than the
flow of human blood in human veins.

Rivers.
from Water Bottoms / by Aase Berg trans. by Johannes Goransson
And here a feather moves toward the river surface, as she who loves water sinks back through the bottoms of light.
Fathers and sons.
from Youth / by James Wright
I know his ghost will drift home
To the Ohio River, and sit down, alone,
Whittling a root.
