Water

 

by Ken Shiovitz

 

Resistant moisture rounds renewed into droplets,

Runs wandering over retardant rock,

Released, rolls from rim edge:

 

Drip,

Dart,

Dab Dip,

Dig Dirt,

Dim Dark,

Drop.

 

Tapping tinkle triple-times plinking tour in groove,

Takes twinkle-troop topping time-etched terrace,

Twists rivulet in pickled kink.

 

Plops past pepper spatter,

Prepares plush passionate push,

Precipitately passes porous pleasure pressure,

Polishing always.

 

Soushes through smattering of shallow sluices,

Sending standing soldier shafts of sophism,

Surging silently along chosen channels,

Stutter-foams across steeper stepping-stones.

 

Flowing farther, following fastidiously, flagging fastness,

Foolish fancies force fallible fortune, further fantasy,

Feinting falsehoods forbear in face of factual comfort,

Slows its surging fascist philosophy to power of flood.

 

Whole wide wandering waters wallow in shallow expanse,

Wasting warrior waltzes slowly over deeper deposits of detritus,

White caps flash and disappear above withering weight of destiny.

 

Meandering moribund multitude in muted imaginary motion,

Magnetically meets massive stationary mere,

And in final muddy termination, just

Mires.
