Water Goes Where it Wishes
By: Cindy Rinne
The Water Goddess dwells
inside a baobab tree.
She caresses the inner bark.
No tree rings. Spells cascade
from her hands
like a waterfall
pounds the earth. She names a nymph
Journey
A slight breeze. The Water Goddess
reflects on the still lake. Rainbows
receive their power
from this magical mirror.
Volcanic fire
sparks up her spine
igniting all chakras. A protective
aura
Echolocation by whale—
An ice song opens a codex.
Letters of prayers
for the Water Goddess.
Sound waves wash her.
Carry their guilt and shame.
She bears heaviness of the
tome
Under crescent moon
Water Goddess converses
in a fluid voice with sea urchin
who walks slowly using tube feet
avoiding starfish and wolf eel.
The goddess wonders
how she will
evolve
