as a child
I drowned
and I remember
so vividly
the light
lapping at the edges
of the vanishing point
inviting me
to be unmade
and
at last
become
rain.
and
at last
a child of the mist
imagined
nothing at all
and called it death.
(and in a way
I remained unborn
until that moment
when you plucked me
from the undertow of voices
and peeled from me
everything
but the stillness of light.)
