Water Becomes You
This water coming into your hands,
it’s old—older than today,
older than you are,
older than the oldest people you know.
This water has been around:
playing over and under the world,
coming up in different wells,
turning through the air into nothing.
This water will make its home in you,
become a part of you,
moving in your very thoughts,
old water welling up in new hands.
