It will take you under if it can. The world
is more water than love, and water is
indifferent to our crisis. My dear,
it will not save you, and any comfort
you gain, well, it is your own
imagination pulling the blanket up
over you, warming the body
And while the sea may feel all that lives
within it, it is neither angered nor
concerned. We cannot fathom it.
And it, in all its wetness, still
or wild, would fill our mouths,
our noses, our lungs without
considering the consequences,
not once, not ever.
