Leviathon

It is like water,
in that it stagnates,
swirls and eddies.
Can cleanse
uproot and upsurge
A tidal wave of dessimation or destruction.

Or gently drip
steady erosion of even the strongest subjects
permeates,
seeps,
makes sodden even the most resolute.

Peculiar ability to transform and renew
coupled with enormous capacity
for absolute asphixiation
Tasteless
but instantly recognisable

Changing consistency and colour
from oil rainbow to the most transparent blue-

The upsurging, heaving waters,
converge and engulf
Either a boat riding the swell
or the shell of a wreck on the sea bed.....
