she lies below
easy as a stone slow eroding
‘lo mirrored skin
she remains within
watching her image wander further
girl underwater
girl underground
Cast out a line for my old home county
reel like a knife through the undertow
call and I’ll answer but words rise slowly
bubbles in mud from a body remote
She lies below,
easy as a stone slow eroding
weeds pull in close
twisting as she flows
flaking in pieces to the ocean
don’t pull me back
from this fine trap
Ask of the pike, of the egrets nesting
ask of the horseflies that whir in close
better a word from a right whole creature
don’t ask me now, I’ve unknown what they know
Ask of the reeds,
Ask it of the pine needles floating
go tell the eel
the worry that you feel
don’t burden your troubles on the sunken
don’t pull me back
from this fine trap
don’t pull me back
from this fine trap
don’t pull me back
from this fine trap
don’t, oh no
ring hollow
don’t oh no
ring hollow
Cast out a line for the body stolen
scour the bank for a shape you know
wade to your knees in the swirling elfam
curse on the nixie, the kelpie, the crow
greedy it soaks up the warmth of the bed
notice it’s blankness, the chill that it sheds
you’d think it a sculpture, you’d think it were dead
but even in silence demands to be fed
she stays below,
easy as a stone slow eroding
weeds pull in close
twisting as she flows
flaking in pieces to the ocean
