post 1: drowning

you are somewhere in the distance

the water deep and cold between us

your face fades into the waves

you drop below the horizon

the water carries you away

I struggle with the tide

how will I save us

who will know to pull me out

how will they reach you

the water drags me away from you

throws me

alone

still breathing

on the shore
