your waters are clear and sweet



The job of a grasshopper is to hop.
Yours is not.
your job is to watch a grasshopper hop,
Like a popcorn on fire
it hops until it finds a cool ground,
Until it finds a nourishing wall of the uterus,
The world is like a grasshopper
and popcorn, hopping and popping
and burning --
Look what is happening in the streets of  Egypt.
You are the ocean
and your waters are clear and sweet.
you are a thirst-quencher and
 tender heart.
You are an oak tree
that shelters multitudes
 under her  love canopy.
