Waves flow over.

Drowning out the uncertain.

The current starts as a salve on the skin.

Water warming instead of burning open cuts.

Becoming exciting electric in time.

***

I drink the earth and the skies.

I taste the flavors of the variations of reality.

Entire worlds in mind’s eye.

Alluring distorted mirror.

I bathe in it all.

***

Water leeches away slowly

Down a hidden drain.

I scramble in the sand for it

And try to milk the stones.

Finally I sit and wait for the rain.
