When you and I drink a glass of water
that truth is water
between our hands
you know how to touch.
- Susana Villalba (Marea)
In the kitchen fire pit I see my friend drinking from the glass
she has told secrets to the crystalline ear
enzymes from her saliva mix with the water
the calcium of her teeth bite the rim
like a fish crashing into the icy surface of a lake.
When I was a child I was forced to drink the water from the fish tank at my grandmother's house.
there lived the sick goldfish
their eyes staring into nothingness, their fins frayed
the fake reef photos upholstered with green slime that has grown
under the fluorescent light
they think it is the sun
How much water there was in those years, on the walls the paint swollen with humidity
swollen with humidity
blisters that we break with our fingers
exhale a sound that is mute and fills the room with a watery murmur
with a watery murmur
Thirst drags whole populations into your throat
Tiny spheres, fossils, treasures of the sea, metals
the Paleozoic mud - you read all about it
a textbook with drawings of mammoths the great meltdown
that you now drink
The pilus live for a diaphanous instant in the water of your cup
they have no eyes, they imagine the world in temperatures
they have developed a strange fetish for collecting hairs and attaching them to their body
one of them found a platinum blonde strand with a stye that wiggles while
Eats the slat of the walls while eating
the weather
