The water
-Deanna Ruff
Despite the season, despite the loss…
the water does not care.
Life has been both granted and taken here.
Regardless of shape, regardless of form,
the water will hold it.
Regardless of shape or form…
the water will hold you.
The water does not discriminate..
The water does not care about the secrets, but it will keep them.
The water does not care about your sobriety,
or if you broke it.
The water does not care about citizenship… sexual orientation, if you gained weight, or lost your brother…
The water will hide you, keep you, hold you.
The water will meet you wherever you’re at.
