I walked like water into this Ready to be part of your cycle, Rain and sleet and hail, and all we would need Bountiful as light- I slipped into your bathtub, silently Caught in your current, Thrown to the sea Alone and unwilling to admit I cannot swim and don’t want to And all because I walked like water And you mistook me for such. Now, the drought has purged me of this, Left senseless, I’d have never taken this as the Mojave Had I not given you my springs. Now I walk like a continent into this, I’ve got my own topography, Don’t need your plains to carve into. I walk like soil into this, Now we mix tectonic into bliss, Never was so beautiful a landslide, No water, no tide So you know I fall into this I will not creep and crawl, Seep through your rafters in the night No, I’ll build you bedrooms, Flowers in my mind, Support, Dependency, Vulnerable To your touch.
