I stand in the water
Face towards the deep black ocean
Beckoning the titanic tidal wave
That has emerged from the depths of the sea

To come,
Crash over me
Barrel me down
Until I am but a tangle of limbs

Then I will resurface
Baptized in your shadow
My sins drawn out by the rough waters
My wickedness carried out in the waves

You stand next to me
Unmoved
Take my hand
And off we go.
