ALMOST LOST YOU

ALMOST LOST YOU

Wading in time
I heard the children's voices
near the shore. I thought
we'd almost lost you.

I remember in the fog
when your lover told me
he'd never give you up.

He looked so hurt
when I told him that I was
speaking to him from the future
and he'd already lost.

I can feel the darkness. It comes
upon you like water. Crawls up
your legs into your lungs. Death
is just another word for drowning.
