This poem is a meditation on life being a fluid situation…<\/p>\n

The Shape of Water<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It was a fluid situation
\nMatched soully bye
\nThat mettle
\nGround
\nStaring at his naval
\nHe was blind at see
\nTaking on water
\nFlailing a bout
\nEvery scene without
\nAn act
\nMaking nothing of awe
\nDown for no account
\nSoully to find
\nKnow madder what
\nHe was
\nOut of shape
\nAnd fore what?
\nThat moment of surrender
\nThe wrest at sea
\nAft loosen it
\nOnly then
\nReal eyes
\nThat third act
\nCaring us with the wins
\nThe shape of water
\nAnd common ground
\nOh what would give
\nTo take
\nIt with you
\nGetting wind of won self
\nAnd holy grounded<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
