5/22/2018 0 Comments What the water has to say by PalHave I told you before About how I used to go to sleep with raindrops In the shower The water falls down like old memories And I remember Him I send prayers into oblivion To the places the rain gods might be able to hear me The tongues that water possess The ones that they hold inside their moleculecular mouths Are soggy and wet And oh so heavy I feel them licking the grooves of my brain
And the front of my skull Where my Health teacher says my prefrontal cortex is And where my head hurts And maybe it makes a lot of sense Why I might hurt in that spot in particular They often remind me Of the things I thought we had agreed not to remember Sometimes my shower is mean A few days ago I broke up with my bathroom She didn’t take it well so we got back together And now we’re in love The stories the rain from my faucet tell me Are important life lessons They whisper to me what the flowers outside have always known Undoubtedly since they were seedlings That love takes time to regrow And good tap water should know this To me Sometimes it feels like only nature knows And the water that trickles down And around my city But those plants out there are quietly teaching And I think we ought to learn how to listen So what I’ve learned so far Is that although I love to lay down in my bathtub Especially during thunderstorms And with all of the rain in the world To waste my water doesn’t help my love to grow The same way that the plants outside do
