Swimming In The Dark

I begin to dream of you again

You are swimming in the dark

You pull your legs together

You thrust your legs apart

 

You are wearing only bracelets

And droplets in your hair

I am swimming close behind you

And breathe your breathed out air

 

The water’s warm about us both

The ripples hardly sound

I catch you up quite slowly

You do not turnaround

 

My brain’s becoming captured

For instinct likes this dark

The warm and soft and floating,

From aeons in the past

 

We glide together slowly

We slow the speed of time

With rhythmic consummation

Our souls are intertwined

 

My body taken over

My mind is lost in space

But its Thursday morning’s garbage men

Outside when I awake.
