My head’s above the water;

The divers all are drowning

But I never even knew how to swim.

The thickened paste of sorrow shuts our throats;

Our bodies, still with envy, never float.

Eyes slicked closed, 

And nothing stirs the soul.

And I wonder where the wonder wandered and slipped down,

And the streaming sunlight stopped, steaming dead, deep in the sea…

Did anybody think to dredge them up

To even 

Say goodbye?
