the water that i am

I've been filling up

on the water that I was

and the water that I am

the water that I am

I put the river in my mouth

and I let it all drain out

just to try and understand

the water that I was

and the water that I am

aren't we all wells of memories felt

can't you see water run deep

if you keep it safe

then I might let you trace

the shape of the water in me

I've been washing up

in the water that I was

and the water that I am

the water that I am

now I close my mouth and wait

for my form to sublimate

I begin to understand

the water that I was

and the water that I am

the water that I was

and the water that I am
