crawl out of the dark water
let out a howl
just to see if the coyotes answer
they always answer.
stretching fingers towards the heavens
the moon reluctantly pours itself into my expectant palms
I head back over the fallen trees
opening the door and walking across the linoleum
leaving muddy foot prints
animal tracks –
tonight something’s different
my swim isn’t over
I slowly slip into freshly drawn bath
and that’s how they found me
drowning in peace
just below the surface of reality
