The Languid Lingering of the Body in Ecstasy (drowning memory)




I am what I remember, hiding in my

rolled up dress. Blinking how

forever joins us

together all.


I don’t wanna get over you.


A poor wreck

out of water.


I ocean the memory,

spools of the stuff

the broken brook

coils around and out.


I shout to return

on the bank

but this drowns

out the rest of it.


Passing very close to someone dear.


This memory of late:


How things are, how they

were, how they never

really were,

really.
