This everyday miracle
unites us all. The river skips onward
but trades its wet song
with every cell in every life.
The whole sea is found
in a single drop: Hydrogen, oxygen,
sodium chloride,
niched in every corner
we name “life.” My tides,
your waves fall and rise
in this unity of forever
simmering here in the sea
of our blood.
