see how the water
blushes red becoming
wine expressly to be drunk
to your intoxication
just because you touched it
see how the water
clings to you as you rise up out of it
throws itself at your feet
invites you to walk on it
just like me
"This book series is a platform from which a generation (born 1960 to 1982)

created by the mass media and commercial marketing.
This book series now includes nearly 700 "voices" in essays, poetry,
music lyrics, short stories and verse from more than 50 countries."
