What sound what water
what jewels in my belly
what foam at my mouth
you poets you don’t know me
you use metaphors to introduce me
to fellow humans:
I am time
I am vast self flowing
embracing the earth
and all sea holes.
You come and play at my shores
throw wet sand at your beloved
I laugh and roar it away.
But when you Titanic and Warships
tear into my belly I swallow them.
When Blizzards and Hurricane
my angry fangs at your mischief
appear you shrink into
your cowardly shell
with pegs of whiskey
Come and watch me
how beautiful I am
I change colours
I change the moon beams
I change the sun mild and wild
come watch me
I am life live like me
don’t rival me
for that I’ll be your doom.
