Let me not be the hand that turns the tap
I'm missing something essential

I open, open
and what energy, and calm,
I’ve gathered up
floods out in the alltogether

So I tighten, tighten
like a vanishing bank account
prudent, self-conscious,
missing the point

How to turn the tap to the endless middle?
God knows I've tried
a violin neck hasn't been as handled
but I'm missing something essential

let me not be the hand that turns the tap
let me be just a drop of its water,
water to get down, under the dirt
darkly useful.
