Dried up on shore, I didn't move.
I can't say you rescued me, but I left
every letter downstairs.
Too lucky for breathing. I blink and feel you
closing in. Almost too soon.
Just as I laid down my lies you picked me up.
My truth held close for the first time.
As a child I walked too quickly
after school. I shuddered with my
feet in a ditch as dusty boy spoke to me,
now I won't fall from your running water voice.
Bled me out and drag me
through white wake. Follow and sway.
One delay and I live again.
Just in time. Just in time for you.
