Lifelines/deep white

These closed-in days
swim ladders
to nowhere

what is the difference
between your world and
this—

waiting for the flood

for the dead
to enfold & remember
and make their claims on living

waiting is time that opens
and closes
empties & fills again each hour

with absence
and possibility

an underwater
&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp  wondering

the future throws back
ribbons like roadkill
entrails signifying
nothing known

they coil & unfurl
&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp  coil & unfurl

an umbilical lifeline
to deep white.
