One last thing?
If you could just tow me ashore..
give me something
to grab onto
other than an undertow
or a year or two gone by
to over-examine after you've left.
I can drink the air
out of the bubbles in your wake
if you wish.
Whatever suits you
on this day,
is what I'll do
as always.
And if you want to
let this thing bleed out
slowly and eventually
until it's colorless and still-
You've got it.
