The water said to me
Dear cousin
I am immensurable
And infinite with
Witness to all that is lost
And testament to all
That will be
I dance with density
And mass and breath
And in and out
You cannot hold me
But I have cradled you
Your entire life while
The shadow of my whisper
Saline scaffolds and patina
Sink under the folds of
Your becoming
So let me touch your face
Let me touch your face
The water said to me
💙
