Opaque Lakes
Bathe in opaque lakes
water waltz with unseen things
who is watching from the hills
do you feel secure and clean?
Can life change within the splash?
you can inherit disease
find a pod of pearly things
or smash your spine on a devil stone
make love to water lily or gently stroke alone.
Jesus was fond of water I think
poor people are grateful for water
they dream in ripples
because heartache and famine stalk the land.
The rich dream in tsunami
they couldn't care less
turning green backs on demand.
Take a chance
dance with unseen things
bathe in opaque lakes
see what emerges from your being
be free
