Tears of sun and earth and wind splash lightly
on the dirt;
pitter-patter.

Wiped from the eye,
they erode cheekbones and 
chins.  And the rats

cannot swim.  Drowning, they flounder in 
the elements.
Meanwhile, a water lily 

hovers above, her
milky petals suspended in disbelief.
The Sea of Galilee is no more,

and the River Styx has been swallowed, 
cleansed of body and form.  It�s current
quieted forever.  

Moon and stars drown in the beauty, 
chaos, utter totality of our world.
Their world?  What world?      

Flooded universes are full of  
crashing waves;
pitter-patter.
