WATER.

WATER

The water carries me like a little

bit of a dragon

calm in its wake

like a little bit of night

that is liquid and shimmery

like a shimmery night

in the dark

I am alone

I am not the only one

who is tempted

to take the stone

and throw it in the water

that is also like a willow

that grows in the garden

in the garden where I live.

I am the sister and friend

to water

I am all water

I am the water of good

I am the water of wise

I am tempted

I am not fending

Water goes down in my mind

like the mind that is there

it is my sister

it is my brother

I am not tempted
