Water, mostly
It burns
and tingles and sweats
Remembers
reminds and forgets
Goes numb, dull and inert
then wakens, alive and alert
Coughs, spits, swallows, stutters
Lies, cries, whispers, mutters
Flirts, fancies, weeps, winks
Barrows, pleads, bends, sinks
It is mine
all I am
Yet none of me
an imposter, a scam
Angry, delirious, frustrated, furious
Delighted, surprised, bewildered, curious
Defiant, hypnotic, incoherent, idiotic
Cautious, courageous, sympathetic, symbiotic
It holds
me down
It lifts
me up
Defines me
Deceives me
Revives me
Purifies me
It is water, mostly
Water that wants this body to dance.
