Sixty years after
the release of the film
returning again to
The River of No Return

Stepping again in a river
that you can't step in twice
sleeping again in a cabin
by the cabin where you slept

Listening again to the rapids
that run over the same rocks
and still chew at the roots
of the same bent tree

Listening for the whispers of the words
you went away without saying
the words we are all still waiting to hear
