still walking
share of thee water
in its element
like all of us
like a book
spell of semen
wall of silence

all of us do it
each time asleep
each time he said

the uncle was his
every time it fell open
at the same ritual
ever time she said
the words he cried
and no one saw
that's how it is
he said
that's the whole problem
each time
she said
