Help for Beverly & Elizabeth Glenn-Copeland
Water Devil
By Jamall May
Spout of a leaf,
listen out for the screams
of your relentless audience:
the applause of a waterfall
in the distance,
a hurricane looting
a Miami shopping mall.
How careful you are
with the rain-cradling
curve of your back.
Near your forest,
all are ready to swim
and happy to drown
in me: this lake of fire
that moats the edges.
From my mouth,
they come to peel the flames
and drink their slick throats
into the most silent
of ashes.
In this episode of Something Like we swim in water water, everywhere (but not a drop to drink?), from 300m deep in the middle of the Salish Sea to 13,821,480,454 miles from earth (and counting). The Pacific, protest, crying, and grandmothers abound. An episode on sweat surely to come.
As always, intro music is provided by Roger 3000
Background music for this episode comes thanks to Barry Truax’s Island (2001) and Roland Hanneman’s Mystic Sea (2011)
