Diving In

You were everything unawakened in me

Is it possible, in my ancient longing for you
I was sifting through my own darkness?

Already dreaming you'd left me
Which came after you'd left me
I gave chase

While you dreamt of strangling me

I dreamt of you again and again

After you were gone, I was, at last
Able to tell you everything

We walked the dirt road
Looking over the bay

Where you had disappeared for a moment, swimming
While I watched from the dock
