remove water from water
and water is revealed
this is how water becomes
living flesh
the light through this prism
reveals a rainbow
to say it directly is to
conceal it
in habit and convention
a kind of death is near
the backdrop of familiar language
is a dead world
where a chair is only a chair
tables are dying
where the sky is merely blue
nothing ever happens
so let your chair become
a cumulus cloud
let there be a blue bellied lizard on
the table
let blue become blue
again
pour the water
drink
Water
- by Philip Larkin -
If I were called in
To construct a religion
I should make use of water.
Going to church
Would entail a fording
To dry, different clothes;
My liturgy would employ
Images of sousing,
A furious devout drench,
And I should raise in the east
A glass of water
Where any-angled light
Would congregate endlessly.
blue, screen blue, media-studio blue, fox blue, blue chip free market blue, no color more misused and tortured by us than blue. Well, maybe green.
