keeper
raze
just
like
i
used
to
think
every
water_tower
i
saw
somehow
held
all
the
water
in
the
world
,
i
used
to
believe
a
lighthouse
was
a
sacred
place
that
was
never
without
its
keeper.
someone
who
could
never
leave
,
who
had
to
make
sure
there
was
light_enough
for
everyone
.
sometimes
i
wish
the
poetry
of
a
mind
still
being
formed
never
had
to
contend
with
the
slow
encroachment
of
reality
,
and
we
were
free
to
shape
our
lives
out
of
a
lost
language
we
dreamed
into
being
before
letting
it
slip
away
.
don't
let
it
leave
you
.
i
won't
let
it
leave
me
.
give
me
water
.
give
me
light
.
give
me
kindness
.
give
me
spite.
give
me
everything
your
arms
can
carry
,
and
i
will
drink
until
i
drown
.
