Gentle flow,
calm, peaceful,
basic.
Bends, surrenders, river rain coursing down channels like veins,
sea break on a wooden hull, damage vessel,
cool refresh, spray against the face from an outstretching ocean, pressure, suction, vast distance.
Ship whipped to and fro sweat heaving from the skin of sailors on it's unknowable surface, blood sometimes, ice sometimes causing the ship to bleed it's passengers.
A stagnant pool seeping through mud to quench the flowers,
salt licked from the sweaty upper lip,
pure petals like soft skin replenished,
natural nectar, treat in a desert,
refined to cause explosion, rocket propelled through the atmosphere leaving vapour in it's trail.
Satisfaction beyond what was known before.
