I love the love that loves to insult the love -- so abject, giving berth to himself,
once i gave you modest figurines of angels but what use are angels when wings are clipped, prayers are hindsight dashed with words inflamed
and once this i thought when drowned dies at last but makes it as fish-dream sees the punctured blue as the moon is discombobulated in the water which reminds
me of a room so small, your face virginal, one with white curtains flapping endlessly

My recent memory of drowning:
A man desolate trying some cockeyed miracle on beer, using a variety of silence as the world like a flat black disc continues to show a collection of failures

I am worried I might forget your face the next morning but there is something to keep the light from passing beyond and not through but still is evident of a day leaping off memory.

My faintest memory of drowning:
a woman glinting under quotidian Sun
quickly fades, departs from imagining this:
You know it is bound to happen and both of you are now drunk and her face now is the cold brink of all places so placeless in recall
and then the world all over, blue, deepening, rearing multitude currents.
