I wrote about the destructive power of water

civilizations carved and collapsed under its 

weight breaking rocks and men into component 

parts into an undifferentiated drowning mass



I wrote about the entropic property of water

the dynamics of inevitable decay of a fading

warmth over millennia a primal earthly force



I wrote about the restorative power of water

as I stood under a torrent and shaped myself 



And I wrote about water because I was unable





I wrote about water because I couldn't write







Wrote about water because I didn't know what









About water because I am not liquid but I am













Water because water is constant and complete















Because water is always crashing not ceasing

















    Water is always crashing not ceasing

















       Is always crashing not ceasing

















        Always crashing not ceasing

















           Crashing not ceasing

















              Never ceasing.

Author's Note: I was writing a lot about water and I decided to get it out of my system.
