Under the grey sky*
I saw you. . .

There;

In your purple dress.
You stood like a statue
Of a Greek Goddess

Hovering over.
You took two shallow steps
To pull me out and
Not let me sink

Underneath all of this
Filth that I've created.

I wouldn't go back
Even if I could,
I couldn't go back
Even if I would.

Your lips moved twice
And signaled me in.

-Safe landings-
I'll make it home
Eventually. . .

The carpet is
A loaded gun.

*I am your target.
