You hold the sun down low
Your hands sink in my throat
We melt into the road
Cracked skin and blackened bones

The heat moves up
It rises

Cloud bursts, humidity falls
Fattening every little cell, it heals them all
Welcoming the wash with wide, open jaws
Drinking in the flood & sliding on the mud

The steam moves up
& dries us

If ever I’m a waterfall
Your hands could never hold it all
If ever I'm a cup too small
The mighty thunderstorm cannot be held
