 RIVR WATR, by Libby Reuter and Joshua Rowan, Missouri History Museum, 2014. Rivr Watr
Only sunlight crowds the unfilled pool at the old YMCA deep in silence White tiles once bright young swimmers long dead ghosts of immersion On the wall the words do not swim alone written in red lettered scripture The scent of chemicals lingers like incense around the hollow well empty of its blessing This water too has joined the river no children diving down to touch the drain open valve of its tiny heart Kim Lozano Kim Lozano teaches creative writing workshops in St. Louis and co-directs the River Styx at the Tavern reading series. Her work has been published in Poetry Daily, The Iowa Review, Alaska Quarterly Review, The Journal, Midwestern Gothic, Denver Quarterly, Valparaiso Poetry Review, New Poetry from the Midwest, and elsewhere.
