On visiting days
one should wear one’s best hat
and wait on the water’s edge
for the best possible world
fingers crossed in the back

We will have to
drain the sadness of the world
through our Sunday tears
give back to the earth
memories that smell good
then we will hesitate when opening the door
Am I going out or not?
We would start again
each morning
as if nothing ever happened.
Water, fire,
pick up the twigs
burning the dead wood,
instead of invading
other planets
