Water Carrier
I am become a river
Of tears a waterfall
A rag wringing out
I am become water
A washing away
A cleansing of self
And you
Brought forth
Swimming in me
Souls inseparable
I am a water carrier
Of souls
In tears of longing
I am dead and alive
My soul exists in water
In a purity of being
My soul and your soul
Exposed to the world
In an anguish of grief
Longing for your body
To return
My body is drowning
I drink your soul
You are washing me away
Take me
