THE WEIGHT OF WATER

 

His hands formed

a cup as if to hold

a capsized ship

 

rudderlessly dragging

pushing the limit

of vanishing stability

 

His fingers tight

attempting to carry

the weight of water

 

seeking its level

the molecules slowly

loosening their grip

 

the cruel game

the complacency

the lure of pink noise

 

the temptation of waves

to swallow the ocean

to resist righting
