Norris Springs
Carolyn Files
Water trickles out of a copper pipe
Jutting out of the side of the hill.
Beer cans, McDonalds' sacks, cigarette packs decorate the landscape.
Sharp contrast to the spring's beginnings.
Story goes the spring begins in Canada -
Ends up in Louisiana hills.
Used to, the locals got their water here.
It was pretty then -
A rocked up area where the water pooled,
Where livestock drank, and people talked.
Now the loveliest part of the spring
Is the reflection of the past.
