| SHE IS | trying crying returning |
| HE IS | against / along /the shore |
| in streams / lakes / rivers / /bodies/ oceans / of time | WE ARE |
| drinking others, filling up | THEY ARE |
| the same as us | brimming a different vessel, for a while, until the next rain or the next flood or the next simmering chant of the sun |
| SHE IS | piping pumping pushing pissing |
| THEY ARE | water / blood / bile / oil |
| floating flowing falling fizzing | with the power to carve the world |
| being one then another then another | spilling spitting spraying spouting |
| plunging to the depths | HE IS |
| swimming with ancestors who are descendants | WE ARE |
| damning damming draining drinking | the river swims deeper into the ground |
| the ocean swims deeper into the ground | the glacier swims deeper into the ground |
| the water - | watch out! - |
