I've reached out
burnt black
been here before
where sleep rules the deep sea
in dreaming landscapes
where hospital beds
display hearts naked
on respirators
relative for the memory
of a relative
with a dying disease
sinking back, back into depths
to another place
Among the seaweed
and the coral reefs
in a cove filled with sunken dreams
you stand as if you've never left
side by side, hand in hand,
witness to the swimming sad
as it boils up
and breaks the surface
bursts a bubble and then disperses
And the dream returns
and wakes for reality
the burst bubble popped
left a mark indelibly
exposed and weathered
under the scathing daylight sun
you're gone again forever
and I'm waiting for the day to come
where in dreams
perpetual and everlasting
I can dive in the ocean
never coming up
to breathe again an air without you
