I am Water

Now my words fall
On your ears
Like water on
The back of a duck.
 
You swim in doubt
And distrust.
 
Whereas you have
Become the essence
Of my existence.
 
I am water all over
And that is the
Plain truth.
 
Yesterday, I returned
Home from work
To have you
Sniffing at me
In search of a
Stranger’s perfume.
 
You doubt, you curse,
You nag me to madness.
