WE

Like water
we are an inviting people
waves like rolling diamonds
we will bathe you
cleanse you
restore your faith
in your own ability
to float

But don’t ever
think this water is yours
Don’t try to build a reef
or recreate the way of the waves

or we will roll you over
roll you out to where the
diamonds are more like coal
and show you what lies
beneath
