Ophelia

Borne down by my fallen things;

water sodden

as if that fluid calls me back

to Earth;

back to that vacuum.


Oh, respite!


Garments heavy

pool around me,

fanned out as a bird

in flight beneath the surface.


In one final act of beauty I cease.

  1. You should look into Arthur Rimbaud and Walt Whitman. Classics, I can't get enough of them.
