when I dropped you
into the waters under the city
how would I know that you were going to swim to the sea?
how would I know that waters were going to rise?
how would I know drowning/
or being drowned

you were going to be born into the sunny season
but like a naked piece of snow
you were dropped into winter
if you were here
I would’ve told you many things...

I am a little bit smaller dot than your mountain like father
let your brothers and sisters
spill the rivers over my head
couldn’t name you for the sake of love
let the oceans threw me into the sea.
