I,
would flow ferociously,
Through rivers and falls,
I would crash.
I would destroy rocks and walls,
I would wash away the shore.
I would freeze harder than stone,
and break the vessel that contains me.
You,
would flow Eloquently,
You would sway,
The doe would sip from you with eyes closed,
Safe,
You would nurture the tree from the root.
You would fall from the clouds in the heat of the sun,
You would take the shape of the vase in which you’re carried,
and water the most luscious roses.
...
If We Were Water.
