what to do with unfinished scraps and reject B-sides?

A letter from home
you’re a water dog

it says welcome
to your new home

where the water is dry
and the air is not

there your watery tongue
is mostly sweet but

sometimes sharp and you are
stubborn and eccentric and

you may not be
aware of this but

you have chosen
lightness over darkness

and therefore are destined
to always feel the black

 shadow gliding beneath
the light on the water.

I really like this one, but the line involving lightness and darkness sounds a little hackneyed.
