The Current
The past twelve months
I've been a pebble
Drifting in the sea.
Floating at the surface then being violently turned around:
Disoriented and unaware and
Dizzy.
The current will stop for a second,
Long enough for me to sink
Down down down.
I'm never going to leave this spot in the sand, I think. I'm never going to
See the surface again.
But then I do.
The current always brings me back to the
Surface again.
