Swimming

Swimming as a child down the shore I was blurred under the undertow and crossed into a border line I divined an image of myself Unravelling in patterns and suddenly I'm back on the beach Sputtering into the moving trees And birds above and clouds all going on without me They do hallucinate a ladder to the sky I wanna be a part of it I wanna live my life out I turn over and cough into the sand There's sand in everything and I howl like an animal In the distance I see you running up You're shaking in relation to everything, I turn again Sputtering into the moving trees And birds above and clouds all going on without me They do elucidate a letter to the sky I wanna be a part of it I'm not ready to die yet Coming up from every part of me I feel it in my skeleton, I feel it like a brass key Opening an image in my mind I wanna be alive I wanna live my life out
