Vignette / Lesson

Had a thought, you were face-down in a pool
Dead man’s float
I was calling out to you
Suddenly the water drained and revealed your form
I could finally see what was capturing me
What your ankle was caught on

Something no one else could see
Something from inside of me

I found out that love is a bubbling spring
And if you can resist the urge it brings
To take a dip, to plunge your entire body in
To ruin it with salty skin and then get cold
Or get sick of it
To dry off, part from it
Or you can forever sip from it

You can forever sip from it
You can forever sip from it
You can forever sip from it
You can forever sip from it
You can forever sip from it
You can forever sip from it
