Dead bugs around me
– dead end –
no land can caress my sorrow,
no land has room for my depth
and the crows’ screams.
At night we see others swimming
steadily and slowly
into dark blue waters
while crickets sing
undisturbed.
Soft waves touch our skin.
A light sound that reaches our dreams
reflects on the water’s surface.
No memory
or sense
stay undisturbed.
This is our summer.
