Deeper

DEEPER (E A D G B E)

I want to be engulfed; surrounded. I want to be submerged.

I want to be swallowed; wrapped up.

 

I want to be let go of; untied. I want to be relinquished.

I want to be scolded. I want absolution.

 

I want to seep into the grass like a stain on the carpet.

What do I depend upon? What do I hide behind?

 

Sometimes it feels like the sun is looking straight at me.

The backyard fills up like a swimming pool of sunlight.

 

I want to sink deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper.

I want to sink deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper.
