Aquarium

(the 20th of December 2011, Dahab)

Another day
In search of Paradise
The Blue beckons unnervingly
Simpering body
Captive in its own singularity
I banish all memory
Of a world above
Of swimming in sorrow
And flogging dead horses
Too hot the seat of power
Be reborn in movement
Amphibian breath
Nothing can be lost
Nothing can be held
No need for blood
Or bread
