Poem -
SUBMERGED
Like sad songs, like tidal waves
in the sacrosanct surreptitiousness,
or as though, from sub-surround
the dead water ping from submarines,
declaring the proof through the night
that being submerged, isn't everything,
and that ultimately,
it will forever be
me, alone
peering through
the periscope,
for that reason alone, immobile
my consciousness floats, with indeterminable
bubbles of oxygen, clueing me in
to what has been, upside down
and forever preserved
in thoughts of love,
and songs,
submerged...
