Walking on Water
We know it is possible—
one manifestation of God
has done it.
We think there is a recipe for this,
a formula to follow as we sink
into the stone of our selves,
hoping to learn buoyancy,
hoping to alter our molecules,
to recalibrate the atoms that blew
into our cells from the stars,
and then to surface,
our vibrating flesh so light
our weight dissolves in our wake
as we test the water’s skin.
