Taxonomy of Loss: Bodies of Water

relentless rain, the cistern overflows
water, the distillation and
collection of all sadness of the left behind

water, the dissipation in
swirls and ebbs, eddies and whorls
of blackness into light
and back to black
bodies
of water

the all encompassing ocean
is in the rain drop
concentrated as essential loss.
