Swimming

I feel like I’m swimming, lately. Which way is up? Where am I going? I’ve got a general idea, but I’m still under water, just a little bit.

Under Water
10/6/09

Shimmering images dart
Across the wavering surface
And I watch from beneath.
The world is just a little upside-
Down
Where do I go now?
Center is not where it used to be
Images, colors, lights
Shift
Something is missing
It’s not quite right
But the remedy is not under water
And I am.
I can only attempt–
Push–
With my feeble strength
Directions unknown
