Light
If I wake up tomorrow.
If I wake up tomorrow as someone new.
If I cannot return.
If I return as something else.
And how then will I walk
the day as I have night.
If I go looking for light.
If I am looking for You
and come upon a river so full
I see I won’t drown.
Because death doesn’t want me
and knows it will have me in the end.
If there is no end. And no middle.
If I send myself into a depth
so far in—no one can reach.
If I reach everything there.
If I reach everything there without anyone.
If I no longer need reaching at all.
Sun over the bay. And the boats.
If I told You I was waiting.
If You said: you were there the whole time.
