but what if you splash them
does all the water just run away
from the calmit once knew
before your torn leather sneakers
once fresh and white
nowbrown with wear and age
destroyed with their careless tromping
the pool ofsoul cleansing depth
or does the water learn to cope
with the new ridgesyour foot left
and learn to rebuild
around the disaster
that is inessence
you
