The running water in the stream in my aunt’s cabin
Flows over the kitchen table, drenching
My brother in sweet moss and flowing silently
Through the kitchen looking for me,
Covering each family member one by one
It reaches me and flows up over my neck
Cascading down my back in wet ringlets
Flowers grow from my eyes
And I lie in the water and am swept out to sea.
