Bio
Graceful Drowning
Mr. Collins called it an art
That is, the way we submerge ourselves
beneath oceans, struggling for
ever-so-precious breath
Myself?
I say we must drown
gracefully
Throw a kick to the side, just so—
Dive down once, twice, to apprehend
that shock in the lungs, the water’s bear hug
of pressure that won’t release you
Drink in
the endless blue, both above and below
the eternal beauty of water and sky
And,
where they converge, the not-quite-life
and the not-quite-death; the in-between—
that is where we drown
with grace
