I hear ringing in my eyes
as time slips and flies
away
...
eyes open
look around
notice the two worlds
which one is real
the one I can feel
or the one that steals the breath away
this boat has run aground
ashore and assure
legs push the rest into the pines
hide here
don't say a word
for they will hear
quiet
shhhh
even this heart beats too loudly
use this to cut it out
so they won't hear
time passes
water rushes down the river
maybe now is the time
to find that rope
to find that tree
water rushes by
loops in the rope
pull pull pull
boat unstuck
tied to this tree
retreating into the pines to retrieve
and finding
no sound
no beating
nothing
not anything
screams of desperation
to find what was left
fall as gentle as a dead old pine needle
and pierces this heart
nothing remains
get back on the boat
push off
still afraid
still silent
stillness
but the water rushes by
