Water

Turned to wine.

John the Baptist's body turned to silver water in a dark pit.

It ran red

And flowed

Through Jerusalem

To the top of Lebanon

And down again to the poisoned liquid in Mary's well.

 

Mixed with salt

Crossed the oceans

Even through the Dead Sea

Even through the Red Sea

Landed on the white sands

And lapped back again

The way water will.

 

From the clouds

It dripped like rain

It fell like snow

Flakes

Hardened into ice

Melted
