"RIVER RISES, DAM BREAKS" IN THE WELLESLEY REVIEW

RIVER RISES, DAM BREAKS 
Kendra Tanacea ’88

October has transformed 
this riverbank, the island
we always waded to has 
disappeared, along with 
the upside-down skiff. 

A scene so changed,
it seems right without you.
Every year, we say: 
where has summer gone? 
Death, a sweet cube of 

watermelon, the last bites 
I fed you in early August. 
Insubstantial and pitted. 
I stand on the dock as 
the water recedes only 

to remind me of all 
that’s been lost: you 
on the beach, our last 
picnic, our final canoe 
ride downstream.
