in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake

the way they laugh
up and down their blue sides
and down in the water

The moon shimmers in green water.
White herons fly through the moonlight.

Swimmer, your body is pure as the water;
cook, your blood is quick as the soil.
Everything you do is full of flowers, rich with the earth.

The shattered water made a misty din.
Great waves looked over others coming in,
And thought of doing something to the shore
That water never did to land before.

Any soul that drank the nectar of your passion was lifted.
From that water of life he is in a state of elation.
...

If I could write words
Like leaves on an autumn forest floor,
What a bonfire my letters would make.

Along the sun-drenched roadside, from the great
hollow half-treetrunk, which for generations
has been a trough, renewing in itself
an inch or two of rain, I satisfy

OH! there once was a swagman camped in the Billabong,
Under the shade of a Coolabah tree;
And he sang as he looked at his old billy boiling,
“Who’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.”

Ten fishermen waiting- they discover a thick school of mossbonkers-
they drop the join'd seine-ends in the water,

When the moon was full they came to the water.
some with pitchforks, some with rakes,

Is either death in disguise or a deep sleep.
The water that pollutes you is poison;

Awake at night--
the sound of the water jar
cracking in the cold.

Mother and daughter sing like young girls.
If my father were alive, he would play
his accordion and sway like a boat.

a frog leaps in
water's sound
...

Others taught me with having knelt at well-curbs
Always wrong to the light, so never seeing
Deeper down in the well than where the water

ground water going low
ponds, lakes, rivers drying up

But still there is scarcity of drinking water,
We cannot drink stagnant and salty water,
There is underground water in boring well
