in a spotlight on the dock divinity through clouds
I’ve stood and watched
her fumbling to steer
the boat ashore my voice –
the thunder keeps her still
as if she’s not even trying
to get away from over there way over there
she trips overboard
swims through the cold
sea of indecision she floats
in limbo and disappears
I can’t help but notice how
it’s always been like this –
there’s only me and there’s far away
