Steam came like an elephant,
billowing before me
into something unreal,
something that avoided
my touch, an animal
composed entirely of thirst.
Like desert rain, the force
of you quenched and annihilated
every parched stone.
What sea does not come to rest, eventually?
What heaving vault will not,
like a sloshing bowl, become settled?
Listen: Dawn comes in shades of silence,
stepping and stepping into the world.
