LIVING LIQUID

…the volume actually occupied by water molecules in a glass of water is 1% or less of the total

 volume, the rest can be considered empty space.  Because of this empty space, the molecules of

 water enjoy large movement.  Luigi Luisi, chemist

I would live like water

Always moving downstream

To satisfy the virginal void

That binds my bones.

I would open wider, grow lighter

Be suckled and nursed into sky.

I would accumulate, condense

With white grasps, then gray

To fall once more through my own emptiness.

I would gurgle and swirl down gullies,

Gather trickles from torrents,

Fill depressions and overflow,

Chase gravity through the lap

Of this limnal landscape

Back to the river.
