Énouement

By Cory Henniges

Illustration by Albert M. Nikhla

Where do rivers end?

I have become suspicious of textbooks

and even they end if you thumb the pages past

the glossary, the index, and appendix.

I haven’t seen it.

The river’s, that is. And are

we to believe it’s the ocean

or another great body? It’s a mouth

with chaffed flesh walls,

insatiable and inevitable.

Where does water go after

it bends stones?

I need to see it for myself.

The piece of your heart that lives in mine is speaking

to the piece of mine that lives in yours.

I would live it all again.
