New Path to the Waterfall
by Diana Rosen
My life is going to change,
Mr. Carver said, I'll give up
the booze, the cigarettes,
brawls and bars. I'll blaze
a new path to the waterfall
cleanse myself of superstition
and fear, the pain of bad memories.
Sounds like a plan, Tess said,
but what will you write about then?
