I know this river.
I know those rivers as old as heaven and earth, which are older than the blood flowing in human veins.
My soul has become as deep as a river.
At dawn, I bathed in the Euphrates River.
I built my cabin on the Congo River and put me to sleep.
I stared at the Nile and built a pyramid on it.
I heard. Abel? When Lincoln went south to New Orleans, the Mississippi River sang,
I saw its muddy chest melt into a golden glory in the sunset.
I know this river:
An ancient and dark river.
My soul has become as deep as a river.
