Not Punctuated

Till drought comes
Water
I will dam these breasts of yours
till no tear goes waste
I will bind your flow
till no seed dies of thirst
Water
you gave me life
Now I will fill your grooves
from your current
draw my strength
make my arms my tentacles
that no man dares to swim
above the tide
Water
for you I will build canals
and then I will bask
till the rhythm of my dreams
draw out clouds
and make them come down in torrents
