WATER FLOWS
The water flows through
the mountain.
In a covered wagon,
I walk and roam all of this mess,
the mess that's called a planet,
the world that is full of noise
and sound,
where whispers are covered in grease
and grime.
Laughter fills the night with noise.
Everything goes on its course.
Like shadows that move and weave
through the water,
everything makes us tumble through
a land of horrible laughter
and grief.
The man who calls himself a wizard
laughs and laughs
and then there is nothing but the woods
and fields
where meat-eaters roam,
and vegetables come from a garden
of rabbits who eat it
and venomous spiders
and tickled worms weave like nights.
I surrender myself to you,
like a shadow that is on the edge
of twilight,
where night is gone and alone.
And people learn how to whisper
and weave sad voices into nothing.
And time fades and ends like
the world that watches and waits
and yesterdays are what they were
before
the eve of destruction.
