"It may soothe" said
A crocus-soldier
"To think of me
When you're near the water...
It's throughout all of me."
Iriquois snow
Falling over the water
As the wheel of fortune
Crushes old gods
And embraces the children.
Addicted, you know,
We may soon laugh
At the bridges that burned
Even as we watch each other
In the water.
California oranges
Manana burdens
Awake to running water
Shuffle into the bathroom
Uncork silence
Clothes like water
So soon fall away
And skin as well
Underground, bones,
Listening to rain on the grave
