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
