redemption (Remove filter)
Redemption in the Water
drown in egoism.
how we forget – don’t.
for flicker- shift
this shell ashore,
revive the rolling
carcass and dissect,
drag that black heart
with the colour waves,
bleaching comatose
vanity that presses
with weight of our bodies-
we sunk like sinking
stripping skin for river,
it rowed,
it rowed,
wrapped with those oars
wallow, watch, wallow,
