when you can turn the tides

when the fires engulf all the trees on road
and water in the steams flowing
alongside dries up
how will i insulate
you from the splashes of blood
when there is violence all around
ho will i was your stains
you may try to catch the streams
but then will you be able to hold them

i only hope
when you can turn the tides
and change the direction in which streams can flow
you will
keep the most thirsty in your heart
the ones whose wounds need to be washed first
will be allowed to take a sip
first

may your desire to be at hand
for those who are innocent and and are still hurt
tie a band
around the wrists of all those
whose fingers may tremble
when you love them
ceaselessly
because they may have hurt you
regardless
