Dehydration inhibits healing.
Thirst the mechanism
On which life depends.
Glandular secretions,
Amino acid chains --
Broken.
The cure is water.
Ice, steam
Flow, conception.
Blood muscle skin organs
The fetus swims
In amniotic fluid.
Water breaks.
Lunar shards,
thin moments
in plain, sheer water.
I am willing
to become water
Infused with God's light.
Breathe water memories
Of water times long past.
I labor in water
Tinged with blood.
Birth slime, mucus.
Ocean lake puddle pond
Luminous with creation.
Baptism.
Return to the place
Of seeds in water.
Sacred flow.
This is what I gift you.
