Louisiana Water
I've heard that Louisiana water spouts from artesian wells. But I can touch it in the air. It settles in the shower and grows and reeks of attic must. Artesian black spots form on humid left over clothing that stayed too long on the bathroom floor, sopped from over-flowing faucets of Louisiana water. Sometimes I wipe Louisiana water from the walls. And I can freeze it into crescents; shapes that break my teeth but cool between my breasts. Sometimes it slicks my hair. I can take Louisiana water in my mouth and push it round with my tongue. When the cool wind blows I feel the Louisiana water and see it in the air and taste in the thick rich coffee the substance from which it is made.
