I have been thinking
of the difference between
water and the waves on it.

Rising,
water’s still water,
falling back;
it is water.
Will you give me a hint
how to tell them apart?

Because someone has made up the word “wave,”
do I have to distinguish it from water?

There is a Secret One inside us;
the planets in all the galaxies
pass through his hands like beads.

That is a string of beads
one should look at
with luminous eyes.
