Just when I thought I can take a sip of the calm clear water, it splashed all over me as soon as the tips of my fingers touches it
What makes sense though?
I’ve asked the sun this question and it answers me: “not you humans”
I asked the trees and the breeze and they answer me with the same answer: “not you humans”
I look at my reflection in the calm water again and it shows me that I’m unfortunately human
I went back to the clear, calm water once again and it shows me a black bird sitting on my left shoulder but when I came back the day after the bird wasn’t there and nor was my reflection
As much as I know that the black bird is free and can’t be mine, I know that the black bird needs me and I need the black bird as much
None of us knows why
Not even the water
