F
loa
ting

on
a
fe a t h e r

and You,

pull me
to the
ground
with your
deep and
fluid
voice

carrying me
in current, but
present in your
absence, I cannot
hold my breath
at length

so long
weighted
to the water
tangled legs in
my frustration

resistance only makes
it harder

like drowning
heavy
love and
pain.
