Lost in water

LOST IN WATER (E A D G B E)

 


Lost in water. I’m getting warmer. We’re rushing home just to rest.

To the slaughter. Why even bother? The start is tethered to the end.

I’ll be back and (yea) you will too. I will learn to swim. I will chew my food.

I will read the news with my goggles on. I will still be here when the world is gone.

 

Waiting for the right time might be taking us the whole night. Might be breaking through the sunrise.  And I will.

Because I’m lost in awe of. I’m trapped in the jaws of. I’ve been snapped and torn off. Again.

 

I’ll come back with my friends in tow. And no one will know what we’ve seen or done.

What we’ve counted on. What we’ve left behind. Where we killed ourselves and came back to life.

Because I’m lost in water. I must be getting warmer.
