I poured into rivers
the ink from my veins
where it bubbled from hot springs
too wild to tame
But it couldn't hold it all
so it carried it to the ocean
where it rocked in the waves
got lost in the motion
of the ebb
and the flow
of the tide
that hides all the depths
inside
little by little
I began to evaporate
floating up to the air
feeling thing
feeling faint
until I filled up a cloud
and could finally shout
with a roar of thunder
I fell back home
as rain
