Drowning


I fear raindrops,
the communion
of water and hell.
Nothing grows in drowning….

How long will it take
to write away terror?

I will ask the Lily when
the river leaves it to bloom.

Wow! This is really something. We move from the terror of hell to the beauty of a lily.

It will take some time for lilies and humans to return to normal.
