to swim forward 
to have the stream push back
to remain in place
to have the dream distract

is a pain on the body and mind
is a drain all inside
is a pain across tendons and heart
is a drain all inside 

and i fight to keep it all
within the grasp of my hands
who are now so tired
yet so, so willing

willing to receive pain

el nadar

green stems from
your spine

as i walk
down 

an unknown path

path

there's a cold air
and a hot light above
oh, love. i fear
the returning sun

you know you want
your skin to seep into the soil
you want the branches 
and the leaves to
take hold of 
your heart - all of you
