The Yazoo River doesn’t rush. It seeps, it curves, it floods the lowlands quietly. To say something moves “Yazoo softly over” is to describe a force that isn’t aggressive but is absolutely unstoppable. Like grief. Like the end of a long summer. Like the way a song you haven’t heard in ten years suddenly plays in a coffee shop, and for two minutes, you’re twenty years old again.
There are some phrases that feel less like words and more like a state of mind. “Yazoo softly over” is one of them.
— For the late-night listeners, the porch-sitters, and everyone learning to love what moves slowly.
