A Freak Accident

What I remember

it's too cold in the water

too hot indoors

beyond the point of remorse



what I remember

there's a bottle and it's broken

by words finally spoken

no missing links howled in the open



but I'm sure I heard you laugh

only stitches away from the past

I avoided today



a strange quality greets me here

a promise no one would notice

to come back again

if I somehow got away



a sad discovery

I can't locate the centre

of how much you meant to me

of what I once felt as alive in me



but I'm sure I heard you laugh

only stitches away from the past

I avoided today



adrenaline and awe

sharpened everything I saw
