That Little Expectation

by sibyllene   Oct 12, 2011


Opaqueness
is an illusion that allows
for peace.

When you are buried in water
you do not disappear. There are
a million eyes fixed upon you,
hungry with their scales.

You don't go softly, you go,
blinding with clarity, heavy
with scent and waterlogged.

Water isn't blue.
It's clear, clear,
all the way down.
