I'm sure you'll all be pleased to know my life is a mess right now.

I've been directionless before but this is the first time I feel at the complete mercy of external forces. I've lost my center so instead of sailing with whatever wind takes my fancy, I'm just fucking drowning.

To My Darling Who Is Drowning

*

Shut your eyes and swim deeper
Let your body sink under the water
Become the secret sunless Mother
Instead of someone's angry, flailing daughter

Drift along the bottom
Carried by angels that smell of fish
Whose cold and bitter voices whisper
Your heart's forgotten wish

Your reflection is imprisoned there
Begging beneath the surface of the sea;
"If you teach me how to smile,
I will teach you how to breathe."

The hurricane remains above
Though the eye will always gaze
Into the places sunlight fears to go
Mirroring the moon which guides the waves

Every treasure you've ever desired
That was stolen by the storms
Awaits beneath the shadow world
Bathe, and be reborn
