"how was the water" (shelley short)

(pintura de anish kapoor, "twelve etchings IV / blue form", 2007)


"How was the water?
How was the day?
Is there a time bomb hiding away?
Oh the water was fine
Oh the water did shine
Did the waves make a sound
falling fast to the ground?
Did you believe it, and swim along?
Did you receive it, waves staying strong?
Oh the rain it was fine, oh the rain it did shine
Did the rain make a sound
falling fast forward toward the ground?" (1)
