Alternate version:

The sun has hands around here
fingers that grab our skin and twist
fists that hit the water so hard
it cries out to summon the storms.

Our children sink their toes down by alligator teeth
while rubbing orange peels between dirty thumbs.

In this land, even our sweat turns brackish.

We are the machines behind the magic
so dreaming is a little different for us.
