still be wandering alongside me

lost on a boat of stems
  gasping for water
                        within the
                 scream the scream the
                                 scream the SCREAM
to make all our wishes heard
            at a magic personal
                           invasion of privacy
                     or at the bottom
     of this well of gratitude?
