The water was quieter than expected Though fast in its flowing There is a silent beauty in death Not knowing where she is going Have you swam in dark water before How foolish of me to ask Holding your breath before barking dogs This was never meant to last I did not expect to hear your laugh The sound less permeable Than your ghosting form Are we already irreparable The boat draws near Bone like fingers on oars Denari clink in your shallow pockets Like skulls knocking on doors
