drop by drop
with
time
persistance
you can sculpt a world
drop by drop
poem- swimming December 11, 2015
Our bodies are mostly water
and my head is swimming as I lie.
Consciousness swirling in eddies,
I’m drowning in myself.
poem- adaption June 20, 2015
Water
flows downhill
finds its level
makes its way
adapts.
Water
boils over
floods plains
rises to the sky
adapts.
Water
nurtures
pours
roars
adapts.
Water
drips
drops
adapts.
I
am
water.

Water rushing,
whispering journey,
rippling over rocks
hurrying yearning
for shimmering
ocean.

poem- drinking problem August 27, 2013
Your rose velvet tongue
washes with water, cool and clear
You stretch and strain as if to gather
rain drops-
but stop!
Listen!
as you lick those glistening lips,
Your kisses become unwelcome, quick!
We stand disgusted and agog:
Don’t drink
from the toilet,
dog!
