I knew you meant your favourite
The one I gave you as a gift
The one you never sleep without now
…
Ebbing and flowing
Under the pull of the moon
And the heat of the sun
…
Waves still rise and fall
Anchors begin dissolving
I begin to drown
Waves still rise and fall
Anchors begin dissolving
I’m starting to drown
Shadowed, sheltered;
hidden until one needed it,
trembling as others passed,
quietly it remained.
I hate everything
Bitterly I remember
Myself most of all
A forehead under lips,
Under a chin;
Face to face, soft cheeks press each other
Back into chest they lean…
Like the waning moon
Peeking from behind dark clouds
Quietly shrinking
My cold, dark feeling
My hidden wisdom so hard to find
My searching for everyone who’s fled and scattered and hid
…
The echoes that follow us
ride our shadows to stay at our side,
bearing down on us somehow
from the ground at our feet…
