Sea Ghost

I dove into that freezing sea

With the parasite attached to me

I had hoped the salt below

Would divorce what was wed above

But league after league

It yet remained

For the fleshy vessel I

Kept it sustained

And so we froze a while surrounded by one big tear

Which only reminded me of a former home

But we weren't welcome

The sea made that clear

By filling us with saline

And sailing us blue blue back into

The atmosphere

"You choked as you surfaced, tangled in seaweed"

But what remained?

Of the driving intent?

That led me to tract such watery depths

Many things have betrayed me

Between there and here

And my memory is so fucking unclear

Who was I with? What time was it? Where did you go?
