Wade Down Water

 
 Wade Down Water 
  
 Wade down water
 night’s eyes fat with light
 slow boat rolls easy, 
 slides down sleep 
  
 night’s eyes fat with light
 beneath flotsam, the flashing fish
 slow boat rolls easy, 
 slides down sleep 
  
 night’s cargo carried home
  
 beneath flotsam, the flashing fish
 holds the flat eye’s gaze
 night’s cargo carries home, a wish
 to travel down there, heart’s blood heavy, 
  
 hold the flat eye’s gaze
 the river runs, heart’s blood heavy,
 people from my life wander by
  
 out of reach 
 swim home far off ships
 Way down deep
