Yes, the water
is cold
January sea freeze
makes even the sand shudder
no warm-weather
month in sight
my molecules for so long racing
colliding
begging
for the slowing
the midnight
water is cold for me
this is the time
Some fisherman
embracing this
icy body
he will find me
by my blue
silence he will know
lost interest in breathing
this air so full of riddles and
rhymes
Fear of
damnation gave way to fear of life
always the smoke from my
fingertips
as the flames gutted me inside
cleansed my
faith in waiting
hope extinguished
with
the coming tide
Because the
water is cold here
and hesitation’s
wounds were bone dry
turn my head to the black sky
fading
to the moon deserting what must
die
even God in his
kingdom
must forgive
those who
gasp for breath
as
they cry
because the
water is cold enough
this once
and I must
swallow it
swallow it
fill the
thirsting void
tonight
No more debating
when there is nothing for saying
I will be all
right
🤘🏼
