the
wild
animal
seeks
a body of water
when it senses
it has begun to die
acquiescence to the inevitable
a path of complete non-resistance
yet
the human
animal
seeks water
for the same impending reason
in an attempt to live
divine dichotomy
take my hand
we’ll jump in together
such glorious beasts we are
laughing amongst lilly pads
creating ripples of sanctity
where the water is warm inside
