drink
this water is clean
this water is
medicine
medicine because it breathes
it is a she and a him
a living shape
she is profound and
nurturing
she is sharp and dangerous
he is worthy and heart
he is deep and killing cold
she has a body on this earth
full and round and spilling
he has a body on this earth
tidal and transparent and too much
body is a medicine song
body washes over you
moves under you
is being born
endlessly
drink
this water is clean
this water is
medicine

Final Call
She flings her arms around my neck and squeezes me like she’s never going to let me go. My head spins as her lips brush against my cheek. She must be able to feel my heart thumping in my chest. I shuffle backwards and ram my hands into my coat pockets, watching her reach down and heave the rucksack across her shoulders.
