Place of Birth

A Poem by C Peril

Your place of birth

By the mouth of a mighty, grey river

Meandering on and out

Forever

Tides till the solemn

fields, feeding and frothing

Never stopping

No one; no how

A sobering solidity

that could be suffocating

If it weren't for

family fires

Friendly

burning in safety

Against the black night

and the cold, cold waters
